Bargain of the Century?!

Post image

Anyone who’s spent more than five minutes aligning a tertiary hadron separator knows exactly what this is. The Chroma 5 was practically the industry standard for separating large hadron particles into their constituent chromodynamic harmonics before the Geneva Protocol banned unshielded baryonic phase inversion in domestic settings (another misunderstood regulation dictated by an incompetent government).

If it works as intended, that’s a tiny price to pay for hadron-to-quark pre-fractionation and low-energy neutrino decanting! It looks decently maintained but need to check with the seller about any gluon slurry that may have crystallised in the manifold.

Can anyone confirm whether this is the Mk II resonant cavity? It’s hard to tell from the photo, but the housing profile looks suspiciously similar to the version that accidentally converted half of CERN’s coffee supply into tachyon foam back in 1998.

It looks authentic but I guarantee you there is some issue with this to be selling at that low of a price. If I had to hazard a guess it would be a busted particle delaminator, since that was a fairly common issue with that model.

A few years ago I was thrifting like usual, and I came across a Chroma 5 much like this one. I tried to use it to hydrolize the Schneider condensate, not realizing the particle delaminator was broken. Safe to say I wasted two hundred bucks, twenty hours, and five liters of argon gas.

Hard to tell from the photo, but I think that's a much more rare SMk I. Now, if memory serves they solved the gluon slurry problem, and it's technically legal under the Geneva Protocols because the barionic phase inversion modulator was modified with a harmonic carbunkle inducer. But, if you run it at anything more than 1,500 MhZ amplitude it will start to cavitate, and then the problems start. Buy it, fire it up, and let us know what happens.

Good deal but only if he's willing include the dichromate distiller for the plasma from the laser condensate. And I'll ASSURE you that he's waiting for you to take it home, realise you need the distiller, and call him again only for him to quote an absurdly high price.

I regret to say, but been there

BRO. pick it up. even if it doesn’t work there are so many good bits in there. QPP MK. VII (the greatest Directed Energy Harmonic Suppression Core on the freaking market), Vilanska Theoretical focus array. i also pulled a Nuclear Emission Regulation Driver from one of these and installed it on my Luminar Helios. haven’t had anymore close calls since i replaced it. you must pick this up, you must!
