I was browsing Craigslist a few days ago and found a school about forty minutes away selling lab equipment. I went there and it turns out they were
receiving donations and had too much stuff. Everything was one dollar each except the balance which was $50 and the candy thermometers and 10
Erlenmeyer flasks which were free.
The box contains nine heating mantles of various sizes and in varying conditions. (Also $1 each!)
I think I did pretty good for about $75.

That's a nice haul for $75. Good job. Are those red things heaters or mixers or both? There's many a good deals for those who look.
BTW did you know you can cut steel with that chop saw and a metal cutting blade? Lots of sparks, but does a nice job.

Thanks, the mantles only heat, two of them have adjustable heating and the rest just plug into a socket. No I didn't know that but now that I think
about it it isn't surprising. I have a bandsaw for cutting metal.

That's awesome! I wish places around here would give supplies away like that, my highschool didn't even have heating mantles, let alone RBFs to heat
in them
