Allihn condenser -- need some parts

I took some pictures of the condenser a long time ago, sorry for the delay. I tried just putting the thing on a 250 ml RBF, it didn't work very well. Is it supposed to be rather loose? I'm sure I need an adapter of some sort.



That will give a slight view of the male side (the side going into the condenser)



That's just the other side -- where the thermometer goes.

Hey everyone! About a year ago, I was in India, and decided to get some glassware. Glassware there is cheap, but still good grade. So I bought essentially 70% of the glassware I have now from India and brought it back to USA (I don't have much glassware anyways). In India, I asked for a condenser, and all they could come up with was an Allihn condenser. I took it (It only costed me 15 bucks!). But here's the issue: I only bought the condenser. No parts, no adapters. A refluxing condenser like this would be very useful to me in the future when I want to prepare some organic materials very easily. So where can I get parts? I presume this is a 200 mm condenser with 24/40 fit parts. I may upload a picture. The narrow part where I presume the thermometer or drying apparatus goes is chipped a bit, and the inside of the condenser is coated with a dark dusty material. However, my main concern is the location at which I would get adapters to attach this to a 250-500 ml RBF flask. Are there any sources that will sell this for cheap? I don't want to hav e to spend $50 on a few adapters.
