Ebay

The only ones I could see on ebay were for aquariums and had ranges about 1.000 - 1.030 are there ones in the full wine
range? I read somewhere that the cheapest digital (submersible-probe and external display) was about $2500 and that a
professional lab grade spectrometer/hydrometer was more like $20,000.

Hmmm,

I got this from ebay just minutes ago:

http://tinyurl.com/2ms77e
The Spec table down near the bottom lists the pH range as 0.0 to 14.0

....then I did a google search for the model number and came up with:

http://tinyurl.com/2p2gnc

.....which confirmed the numbers above.

Mine is made in China but by a company called Hanna. I bought it from Stein
Fillers in Long Beach, California.

Good luck,

Casey

Casey,

I think Jim is looking for a Hydrometer, not a pH meter.

Jim,

I did a Google search and found several manufacturere, but none listed
any prices. Perhaps you could do the same and call or ask for a quote.

Let us know if you turn anything up. Now that you mention it, it sounds
like a useful tool.

Did you take a look at the hydrometer on Ebay? It's range
is between 1.01 and 1.03!

I thought I'd already done my mea culpas over that....
Sorry Dick, my brain registered pH meter, not hydrometer.

But a neat little pH meter! I may just get one for my
hydroponic tomatoes!
