Need help with purchasing a still head for my condenser
Hi guys, I recently brought a used condenser and im not sure what still head to purchase for it, im not sure of the joint size or and measurements of
the condenser apart from its length (18 inches), its not ground glass and I was wondering if that was a problem or not? I measured the widest part of
the joint and It was 24mm across and I know you can purchase still heads that are 24/40 but I am not sure if this would fit? and I don't really want
to have to spend money and then find out that I have bought the wrong sized attachment.
Here is the condenser http://tinyurl.com/bnj4rpy
Sorry if I seem noobish asking these kinds of questions, im knew to this kinda of thing 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Lewis

you would have to use bored out rubber or cork stoppers to make sealed attachments.

Is that the internal or external diameter?

Ah, you need the internal diameter to measure up for the possibility of finding a ground glass fitted condenser - but as Roger said, you'd be better
off using rubber stoppers or just buying ground glassware to begin with.
