[sudo-discuss] Maker/tinkerer parts

[Hol Gaskill]

Hi Gideon,

This one? http://www.weber.edu/WSUImages/employeewellness/Bod_Pod.JPG

I don't know if you'd find anyone interested in buying this machine at sudo room, but if you need to get rid of it we would definitely put the components to creative re-use.  Sensory deprivation chamber in the sound room, anyone???  Looks pretty awesome.

Cheers,
Hol

I am looking for ways to find a new home for the system, and am especially interested in helping any useful parts find their way into innovative reuse or educational programs (or at least becomes somebody's weird furniture/studio prop).
