Hi All

I have been away from the news group for quite a while following problems
with my home computer. However, everything's up and running smoothly now. I
was wondering whether anyone in the group new of a good supplier of class A
evaporation pans. The one we have at the moment needs replacing. Ideally, we
would not be looking to spend much more than £350 and aluminium/stainless
steel would be preferable to a heavy galvanised pan. We would also consider
second-hand or reconditioned.

I look forward to hearing from anyone who can help.


Regards
