I will try & post more pics tonight, its pretty much the same as the charity build, without the S/S bling & as you can see
in the pics I put the plate inside the condenser head instead of the cup, that would be the only thing I would/did change.
No regrets, build was fairly easy, a couple of hours after work each night for 1 week.
On the alc cleaning run I was having dramas with the condenser, little puffs of vapour coming out the safety vent hole,
but was an easy fix, I had the water going in the cold finger & out the coil, swapped the hoses over & problem solved.
Only full run I have done was a stripping run on TPW, no packing & valve wide open, collecting @ 4.5ltrs an hr
I have to do a few more stripping runs before I can do a reflux run & see what it can do.
I'm running on gas with a three ring burner & I'm only using the two middle ones on full at the moment, on the next stripping
run I'll try throwing some more heat at it & see if the condenser will cope.
L/M boks are easy to run once you learn how they work, just slower than a plated still.
