Hi Bob,
I've had a very good experience purchasing a second-hand instrument
from Comdisco. I bought a used ABI Model 120 PTH analyzer. It arrived very
well packed, very clean, complete, in excellent condition, and it worked
perfectly right away. I was very satisfied with their service. (And the
instrument was not expensive.)
