Just been given a Shandon 2L Processor MkII and as usual it didn't 
come with the instruction manual. The instrument is fully functional and I 
have spare processor cards and beakers. Although the operation looks clear 
I have one wee problem. In the position before the specimen basket a heavy 
six-spoked weight hangs from the lid. What in the name of the wee man is 
the thing for. Apart from annoying me I can't come up with a sensible 
solution. Please help, if you know let me know, or better, if Shandon is 
monitoring Histonet what is it.
Ian.
