I just received a sale catalog from MCM Electronics this week. It has a Raytek Minitemp on sale for 29.95. Specs are 0-525 degrees F with accuracy plus or minus 3 degrees.
Item number 58-12050
Catalog Number711R24 (source code, they always ask)
Telephone number 800-543-4330
The ad says suggested retail list at $79.95.
I have bought a lot of electronic components from MCM over the past 10 years and have always been very satisfied with the service, delivery, and quality of what I have bought. In addition to components, I have bought Multimeters, and other instruments. I just ordered a Raytek a few minutes ago because they said this buyout sale had limited quantities and I have found in the past that when they say limited quantities, I better buy in a few days or they will be gone. Now that I have locked in delivery of my Thermometer, I will share the source with the rest of you.
