Hand Spectroscope Kit

  • Customer also reviewed:
  • Pair of Tunnel Light Pendants
  • Magnetic Torpedoes
  • etc.

I did not like the quality of the material, it was ackward to assemble and overall I was disappointed. BUT.................. I have also to say that the price was cheap, so in that respect I could not expect to much. I would rather have much more expensive unit which does it's job.

Hand Spectroscope Kit

  • Customer also reviewed:
  • Russian Rattleback

A very simple, but clever piece of kit. Mine has just been to the Middle East to use in teacher training and created a lot of interest.

Hand Spectroscope Kit

Spectroscope case made of cardboard and not really robust enough. Plastic would have been better

Hi

I wish I could say that we are making a good living out of what we do, but we are not - our mark ups are quite small!

Many of our products are NOT made in China, and I am afraid this does make them more expensive.

The Stirling Engine Kit and the Hand Spectroscope Kit are made by a small company in Germany; the Sicherman Dice are made for us here in the UK, and the Magnetic Field Paper we import from the USA.

The one item you thought was affordable - the Pop Eyes - is (you guessed) mass produced in China!

We choose to source many of our products from small companies and 'men in sheds' because this makes them really unusual, partly because they are made in such small quantities. But items made in Europe and the USA have people who need to make something apprximating to a Western salary, not the kind of wages currently being paid in China. And this does make them more expensive.

Please be assured that is the reason, not because we are ripping you off.
