C&H is sells mixed electronic/mechanical surplus, slightly more upscale
(scientific and test rather than hydraulics) than Surplus Center, and a
little more expensive. Some, but not much HP gas stuff, but one of several
surplus catalogs worth keeping an eye on if you like that sort of stuff. I
found out about them in the OXY HACKER book.

 They have a web address,
www.candhsales.com

but I've never been there because, unlike Macmaster Carr, C&H will actually
send you a catalog and I have fast hands and a slow inet connection.
telephone is 1-800-325-9465.

Actually, while the Krytox was a great buy at $12, at $35 it may be a steal
for the heavy user, but most of us non-commercial entities would be better
off putting the $35 towards a 2 oz tube of Christolube, since Christolube
seems to have the edge on Krytox, for use in regulators. And anyhow unless
one is spec-kitting BP regs with the stuff a 2 oz tube is going to last
pretty much forever.

There's some other good stuff left in the C&H catalog - I just used one of
their $5 surplus flowmeters, a 0-5000 gauge, and an old reg 1st to build a
combo tank pressure checker/mix sampler/emergency O2 administration reg,
ala OXY HACKER - quite the rig.
