OMG..I just had a deja-vu moment..i remember wondering why i was having a dream about parts for some glassware and BAM! here i am 3 months later...spooky!
Anyway ,on topic, I have been eyeing a couple different separatory funnels on Ebay. they both are Pyrex brand and BOTH are missing the valve body of stopcock(?) and the stopper. I am guessing that the vavle body is a stem that turns wiht a hole in it. I have read other descriptions and the plastic stopcocks mention how they dont need "oiling". My concern is how would I find that valve stem and the proper name for it in lab speak. the stopper I am sure could get at Nurnberg Scientific. stuff there is expensive.. i got acids and methanol for cleaning my telescope lens and for gold extraction and they aint cheap. that little valve piece could be $20!! So I am hoping someone with true chemistry experience could tell me how to find the part to see if its worth getting. There was a plastic one available for cheap but its from israel and i wont buy anything bathed in Palestinan blood.
thanks for your help,
peace
