turns out, when you buy used highly specialized electro-pneumatic laboratory equipment that
- was built in 1990
- from designs that date to 1980
- by a company that no longer exists
- and that hasn't been turned on in over a decade
it's kinda tough to get it working again and involves being *extremely* relieved to find that a company still manufactures a part you need, even if it's a 7-week lead time, because how the hell else were we going to replace that broken valve

@Felthry wait, you can't fix highly specialized electro-pneumatic laboratory equipment with duct tape? have you tried? 😉
@noiob actually yes
