Any one have experiance of buying a cheap refractometer with built in light source off ebay from a Chinese supplier. The item is about 65 Euros. I have and old Rayner ractometer and thought may be time to upgrade it as the new modles come with built in light source. I am casting around if any one has experiance of this kind of kit from a cheap source ( like China ). Some items i have bought from this sorce are fine some I have sent stright back. I am intrested in your thoughts and experiances .

I have one and it is ok for field. I think chinese refractometers have the "window glass" softer than professional, anyway is cheaper to buy a new one Chinese toy than replace the hemicylinder.

Thanks for the comments . After the comments about how good Raner refractometers are i descided to get a seperate sodium light source and keep the old instrument. A very large sodium ight source has just arrived . Switched on the light and no line on the Rayner. So looks like I will be buying new one after all .
