pH meter, drying cabinet, thermometers, stirrers
I can't believe this deal.
230$ yielded me the following:
2x IKA hotplate stirrers (yeah, they've been cleaned now don't worry. )!
![RubqB3L.jpg - 350kB](https://www.sciencemadness.org/whisper/files.php?pid=481203&aid=58745)
1x ebro analytical pH-meter with chemically resistant probe (glass)
Note: I am posting this today because I finally fixed this meter which made it an even better deal. Had a weird soldered battery in a very specific
hard-to-get size, but once I replaced that it worked!

A 5L Pyrex beaker (... any ideas on what I can use this for? ) and a Glasswerk
dessicator.

Also got a bunch of misc. funnels - some for buchner flasks, some conical.
Also got one of these - disclaimer, this particular picture is not mine, but it's the exact same model. Came with 2 calibration weights.

Some of you may remember last years pickup of all the pyrex/schott duran:

Suffice to say... it'll be a fun summer...
Oh my oh my, I forgot to add. I got a huge drying cabinets... like a proper lab one... I don't know if I am going to keep it, as I think I could do
with just a small toaster oven - let me know what you think!

The shipping would've made it too expensive. I got this deal by inquiring further about someone who had a heating cabinet for sale. Typically it
isn't the only chemistry item they have, and this time I just got lucky.

What sort of battery did the Ph meter used? Would be worth while to make an adapter for it!

The battery was a 2/3 AA 3.6V non-rechargeable "organic" lithium ion cell.
I think it's meant to be non-rechargeable as it's only meant to last as long as the actual meter, but I don't think this has been in much use, and
therefore there's still plenty of years left of use in it.

then you can easily make an adapter for it, as for the prob you can get Ph probes from Ecolabs as they use them in their pool monitoring systems.
obviously need re-calibrating when that happens, such a waste they'd make such a thing "Disposable"

sounds like a standard memory backup battery, e.g. http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/speciality-size-batteries/5268...
