Hi, all,

We've got an old glovebox that's great for a teaching lab, though not much else. It's a flux box, meaning it has a bubbler on the back rather than a dry-train. The advantage of that is that you don't have to care for a dry train, and you only have to hook up nitrogen to it the week(s) you're doing the glovebox lab. It's not practical for storing compounds or research--it really is ideal for bringing up when you need to do a lab, and then not worrying about it for a year.

We've used it for years, and it works great. However, one of my collegues is getting a new research glovebox, and it needs to go in that space. 

So if anyone wants it, and is willing to pay shipping, it's yours! Let me know, either in the comment thread, or at swilliams@kecksci.claremont.edu

I should say that the new glove box is arriving within days; I can stall if I know that there is an interested party, but otherwise it will literally be sent to the dump!

I am sure you could find a place interested in it, especially places that don't have gloveboxes for their teaching labs yet.  If you want, I can ask a few people who might not regulary read this website.

I sent a message to a few people at a few different four year schools.
