Looking for parts for an "antique" electrochemical

[RandyDG]

Hello All; I just joined this board.

I am on a quest to find parts for an "antique" electrochemical detector. I have a old but still working Waters 460 EC detector, and I just broke my last reference electrode (ouch!). Unfortunately, this unit is obsolete and no longer supported by Waters - and they don't sell replacement parts anymore. I know it is time to purchase a new detector, but I won't have the budget for this until next year (an ESA Coulochem is the intended replacement). My immediate application is analysis of dopamine release from retina and brain tissue.

So.... I am looking for a replacement reference electrode. I would be *very* grateful to anybody who might have one available for sale. The Waters part number for the reference electrode is 41211. I would also be interested in obtaining replacement cell gaskets for the flow cell:
50 micron gaskets (Waters part 41206) and
30 micron gaskets (Waters part 41207.

Thanks in advance for any help people here can offer.

Randy

Thanks, DR, for your suggestions.
I actually did see that old 460 for sale when I did a general internet search earlier. I didn't follow it up because I don't need the detector itself (mine is in very good condition and works well), and I kind of doubted that it would come with the consumable parts & accessories that I need.

I will, however, check with the Delta people. Thanks for the suggestion!
