| question about a Martindale 0.3a standard etcher |
| (1/1) |
| tom osselton:
So I have the chance to pick up a old etcher a Martindale 0.3a standard etcher serial no 20758 it comes with no instructions and a 4" x 6" pad on one lead and a 1-1/2 " round string wound grip with a 5/16" piece of copper in it. It has a pilot light and 10 different heat settings. They want $85.00 CANADIAN bucks for it so thats what $64.00 American just to give you a idea. Does anyone know about said beast? Is it worth picking up? |

Is it the sort that etches through a stencil? Seem to remember that you prepare the stencil on a mechanical typewriter that knocks wax off a sheet of permeable material that the electrolyte penetrates. I'd imagine that the 'heat' settings are voltage / current tweakers |

I haven't pluged it in yet I'll go back today but I think I have to go for it I hate kicking myself later. |
