This listing is for a Scientific Electric Products  (SEPCO) Test Tube Rotator. their Cat. No. 60448. The most recent sale of this item (as of the time that this listing was posted), on October 17, 2014, was at $89.00 plus calculated shipping.  That other unit was in much worse looking condition than this one -- plenty of rust, something written large on its face in black marker, etc.  We are listing this at $99.00 "Buy It Now" with free shipping, and that's a much better deal than that last one that sold! Please check out the many photographs that show that this item is in pretty good shape! We do not have the equipment to verify the actual RPM but we did test this unit using the very scientific method of inserting an AA size battery into one of the test tube holding clips and watching the rotator rotate.  See the set of action photos where the battery is blurred due to motion.  We also have a much more slowly rotating tube rotator that turns the tubes on a horizontal access rather than a vertically oriented disk as is the case here.  Other than possibly some kind of internal adjustments that might be made, the one speed is set and fixed.  Note: The battery we used to help show rotation in the photos taken during testing was dead and we do not intend to include it with this unit when shipped to the purchaser. See photo of bottom of this unit.  Lab equipment in our experience is sometimes rusty or stained on the bottom, showing it was not well taken care of and/or people were careless about cleaning it in the event of a spill.  The bottom of this item shows no signs of this, and little cleaning was needed even of its rubber bumper style feet. "Best Offer" tip:  We are located on the West Coast.  The further East you are, the less likely our $10.00 fixed shipping charge will cover our shipping cost.  If on the other hand you are in the San Francisco Bay Area, as we are, we might even get to keep a dollar or two out of that $10.00 charge.  Please bear both of those points in mind when (if) you make an offer for less than full price on this item. DISCLAIMER:  We perform a general cleaning of items like this to remove dust, dirt and the like.  We do not claim to sterilize equipment we sell, nor to eliminate or even reduce any bacteriological, virulogical, or other possible contaminant or pathogen levels.  We have no information from the sources of lab equipment that we sell to suggest that there is any specific reason to be concerned (e.g., that it came from an environment in which live serious disease organisms were being cultured), but you should use common sense in handling used equipment of this type. As with any used lab equipment, please take whatever steps you determine, after appropriate research, hiring consultants, etc. that is appropriate within your industry to safeguard you and those whom you permit to handle this equipment. Runs on 120V, 50/60Hz SHIPPING:  FREE to the 48 continental United States via our choice of shipping at ebay's "Economy" class (meaning can take up to 9 business days, once shipped, to arrive).  If you need this faster, contact us for a quote.  We generally ship only via FedEx Ground or FedEx Express services. RETURNS:  14 day return, allowed if this unit arrives either non functioning, or fails to remain functional during that time period, so long as there are no obvious signs of user abuse (e.g., fluid found inside the case; top cracked; sides dented; etc.).  If the item failed during that period (and you report that failure to us not later than the 15th day after you received it) you will receive a full refund of your initial payment, including shipping, as long as there are no indications that something about the way you used it was abusive (e.g., soft drink residue found inside the case from a spilled drink).
Condition Used :
An item that has been used previously. The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.
Seller Notes This item has the typical set of minor scuffs and scratches typical of an item that was used in a research laboratory as this one was. Think of a kitchen appliance you used every day for a year or more and you'll have a decent idea. See photos; some rust but near all original paint intact. Nothing that would make a venture capitalist with knowledge of that kind of operation withdraw an offer of funding due to a loss of confidence in staff on seeing the lab you'll be installing this in.
