Melting point machine


Anyone knows where one could get a melting point machine that is not too expensive? No need for digital bells and whistles, just the analog stuff they have at college. I can't seem to find them on e-bay of other sites...

Do you actually require a machine, or could you substitute Thiele apparatus for it?

Thiele tubes work, but are harder to use than the solid state meltemps and assosciated devices. They are hard to use above roughly 200C due to rapid cooling of the oil.
