Well, I see that vendors are on the defensive. Unnecessarily. Those
that make CS with "hand lathed ,consistent DC current, uniform machines
capable of predetermined PMMs still have margins of error..
## Of course...just not HUGE undeterminable margins of error.
They do, after all, work like primitive meters and even good meters are
far from perfect.
To put things in historical perspective, Do-it-yourselfers now have the
benefit of literally years of trial and error done by people who could see
that something needed improvement but there was absolutely no knowledge
available as to where to start.
Only a few years ago, there was no mention of current anywhere. There was
no network to consult. Nothing.
Everyone was using batteries and salt and had no idea there might be
something wrong about that.
NOW, people can buy a decent almost foolproof generator for $200 or less
vs the $150 to $400 for *nothing-in-a-shoddy-black-box* that was the only
thing available back in the late 80s and early 90s. [When $150 was real
money...like a whole weeks 'good' pay.]
I actually have a generator that sold for $150 in the early 80s that
makes a pint of black and brown emulsified multi layered sludge in less
than 4 minutes.....just before it overheats and catches fire ...according
to the warnings in the instructions. [nope, that ain't "it"]
It was given to me by my third customer who discovered how *disgustingly*
bad it really was after getting an early version generator that still had
a ways to go. [but was miles beyond that pricey P.O.S. at exactly half the
cost.]
Personally, I had no thought of selling a CS generator till long after I
made one I liked for myself.
It took about a day to figure out that I didn't like what was out there.
[Oh look!, I made mud... this time!]
..nope, that ain't it...[ being a forgetful fool, I wanted something more
fool proof that I couldn't forget.]
It wasn't even a motive to do the work. It was sheer curiosity at play
and enough experience with seat of the pants electroplating to know that
current plays a role... of some sort...to avoid making drain filler.
I don't know what Trems motives were, but we both did about the same thing
in the end starting at about the same time.
Regardless of what machine is used or whether it is 3 nines or a
transformer my comments regarding the making of GOOD CS are still applicable.
## Sure..and some idea as to what good is and how...now.
Once not very long ago, pink CS was thought by some to be desirable and
the very best was a bright deep yellow *with* detailed instructions on how
to make it that way along with the erroneous idea that color was an
indicator of [3-5] PPM.
Colorless and highish PPM didn't fit into the same dictionary. No
color...no silver.
Most people still think they need to keep their CS away from light and many
many vendors still send sea salt with their generators.
Somebody paid a few labs. Some built their own labs. [Ole Bob]
Then...info sharing happened, many myths were busted and "clues"
appeared so 3 nines 'can' make good CS reasonably consistently.
Some had their own labs already [American Biotech for one] but didn't share
anything but BS.
Ya'll can thank Mike the clue distributor.
I know I've found more than quite a few here.
Uh, Thanks Mike.
