The description of an apparatus for preparing precursors of high-Tc superconductors by spray drying is given. The device is built from ready available laboratory glassware and electrical appliances. It allows the production of precursor materials to a high degree of homogeneity, giving rise to superconducting characteristics for YBa2Cu3O7-delta comparable to those found in samples obtained by other more elaborate preparation procedures.
