The words of Janis Joplin's "Oh Lord Won't You Buy Me a Mercedes Benz" roll like honey through the canyons of what is left of my mind. I would pray, daven, pilgrimage to Mecca, or even pay for a reasonably priced digital hydrometer (well-built, accurate, reliable, and no more than $150). Anyone know where to find one other than in my dreams?

Ebay
The only ones I could see on ebay were for aquariums and had ranges about 1.000
- 1.030 are there ones in the full wine range? I read somewhere that the cheapest digital (submersible-probe and external display) was about $2500 and that a professional lab grade spectrometer/hydrometer was more like $20,000.

Hmmm,
I got this from ebay just minutes ago:
...then I did a google search for the model number and came up with:
....which confirmed the numbers above.
Mine is made in China but by a company called Hanna. I bought it from Stein Fillers in Long Beach, California.
Good luck,
Casey
Casey,
I think Jim is looking for a Hydrometer, not a pH meter.
Jim,
I did a Google search and found several manufacturere, but none listed any prices. Perhaps you could do the same and call or ask for a quote.
Let us know if you turn anything up. Now that you mention it, it sounds like a useful tool.

PHBBBBBBBBBT! My bad!!
Sigh.......
That's right, only it is Dick who is looking for one ;)
Jim
Arrrrrrrgh.... My bad too.
Did you take a look at the hydrometer on Ebay? It's range is between 1.01 and 1.03!
I thought I'd already done my mea culpas over that.... Sorry Dick, my brain registered pH meter, not hydrometer.
But a neat little pH meter! I may just get one for my hydroponic tomatoes!
