Copper T500 - New NZ Supplier
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2012 2:47 pm
Hey all,
I thought I would make any Kiwis out there aware that there is a Lower Hutt engineering firm - Barnicol Engineering - producing T500 style reflux condensors made from copper.
They are selling on Trademe for a buy now of $440NZ including 25L boiler or $350NZ for just the condenser.
I have purchased one to test it out and also had a exchangable pot still condenser and lid made for an extra $80.
All up it is a shit load cheaper than the same thing at the local HBS.
Has anyone had any experience with the copper versions of the T500?
I'm putting a TPW stripping run through the new pot still this weekend and will do a reflux run next week. I will post the results here.
It is not as cheap as a DYI but for me it was an easy option and reasonably priced ;)
I will post some photos soon as well.
