For Sale: Mel-Temp Melting Point Devices

Texium - 15-5-2024 at 14:45

I have two old Mel-Temp melting point devices. These were from university surplus and they were slightly broken, but I repaired them and now they both work. I'm asking $60 each for them, and I'm willing to ship internationally.

A couple caveats:
They require the use of an external glass thermometer or temperature probe. A thermometer is not included, but any standard size glass thermometer will do, or you could use an instant read digital temperature probe. They are missing the built-in magnifying lenses that assist in viewing the capillary tubes, but if your eyesight is good you should be able to do without, or you can just use an external magnifying glass.

If you purchase one, I'll also include a free piece of glassware of your choice from my $5 bargain bin, if desired: https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/viewthread.php?tid=16...

Is posting/shipping within the continental US included in the $60?

No, shipping is not included. It would likely be about $15 within the US, because they each weigh about 4 pounds. I could also ship it with other items in a medium flat rate box for $18.
