ATM Aluminizing: diffusion pump obtained

[Dominic-Luc Webb <dlwebb@canit.se>]

Small progress up here in Sweden today in finally setting up an
aluminizing chamber...

Deal looks done! I have a working oil diffusion pump taken from
an ultracentrifuge. These look very much like James Lerch's, in
fact. My business partner OK'd me to use part of our shop near
the Stockholm Airport to set up this monster (3 phase in case I
need it). A good friend, a professional welder with some vacuum
experience, checked out James Lerch's site, got interested and is
now helping me get the plumbing, etc set up. Everything looking up
except for pressure (hopefully going way down)...
