Good refractometer?

The price is FAIRLY close to CDN, but without all the taxes and such, or calibration fluid, with shipping it's only about 55 CDN, compared to 72 buying at J&L...

Anyone know if this is comparable? Any experience?

calibration fluid? You just use distilled water for that.
You can borrow mine if it is for some quick testing.

Oh right, duh.

And nah - My digital one is giving me headaches, I think I'd feel more comfortable with one that has no digital parts

I just bought one a few days ago from Wendell at OA. Used for $40.... great unit and damn acurate!!!! OA also sells them for $55 CAD i do believe..... I work just 5 mins from OA..... damn it!!!! I hate that cause im always there on a lunch break and so is my wallet!!!!

LOL - blasted, that means you bought the last one, and I was just there on the weekend, I could have beat you to it! Blasted!!!

Ah well, new ones are 55, it was showing 65 on the site but just confirmed with the store they're only 55, so it's only a bit more and then I don't have to deal with customs or anything.. Just PEEVED my digital meter isn't working, that was just SOOO easy.

Ah well, such is life I guess. Hey - you want to pick me up one and then head by one day to grab the Dottyback??

[Ticketyboo]
