Dear colleagues,
This is my first post on this forum and I'd appreciate your help in regards to the following issue.
I am trying to resurrect an old Buchi RE 111 rotary evaporator but we do not have any glassware. The only glass piece we have is a "stem" that
connects the evaporation flask to the rotary motor - but nothing else - see attached pictures.
Do you have or do you know where I could get the condenser, attachment of condenser to motor housing, evaporation/condensation beakers and clips?
I contacted Buchi but they say they do not have parts for the RE 111 anymore (old model) and they want me to purchase a new one (talk about high
pressure sales...) - but I can't believe there is no glassware available for this equipment. Please advise. Thanks.

I have a 2nd hand condenser which I think fits the 111. I also have some blanks to make a new one as well. Let me know if this helps.

I have lots of both water and dry ice condensers and other glass parts for Buchis, receivers, evaporating flasks, and even the metal clips and
hardware. Send me a PM, and we can email offline. There are some photos of condenser examples posted here:

Most of the condensers start at $100 plus postage, the other parts of all much less. If you are in the US, I can help you easily. If in Australia,
