This Sunday, the Berkeley Physics Department is auctioning off its old junk, including:
A reflecting galvanometer covered in Bakelite that's as heavy as a lead brick.
A four-foot long demonstration slide rule.
A Portable Precision Potentiometer.
Brass spectrometers.
This is just a warm up for a much larger auction to be held at the end of July.
