Zinsser analytic minilab


Hi, I have just joined and hope to use this site regularly.
I found this minilab kit in it's aluminium flight case and many of the pieces are missing. I have a quote saying that it would take just over £100 to buy the missing parts. I have written the link below, it's the US site but I am from the UK.

http://www.zinsserna.com/minilab.htm

I work at a school teaching chemistry and they refuse to buy the parts as there is not enough cash after printing worksheets etc.
I would like to get back into organic chemistry and was thinking I might just buy the parts. I could also improve my teaching.

We have a couple of quickfit stuff.

Before I do buy ( if I do) I thought I would ask if anyone used this kit, is it worth the cash and what are the limitations that they have found using it?

Thanks

The screw threads and connectors look a lot like Sovirel SVL system; I have a number of odd pieces I'd like to sell, I wonder if this would help?

I have been working with small apparatus but not screw together kits. I have a vacuum fractional distilling setup with a partial takeoff head. I'd like some 14/22 metal Keck clamps to help hold it all together. I don't think I need to go smaller than 25ml rb for receivers and 50 for boiling.

Thank you for your replies.
Thanks for offering to sell me the glassware but I probably would be better purchasing the replacement parts. Canada is a long distance to be sent parts which knowing my luck would end up not fitting.

I managed to build a reflux column from the parts I have. If I find the time I may post pics.
