I bought filaments for both the MAT-253 and the Delta XP last year and I
paid UK £240 and £287.60 respectively plus VAT.

If you want new filaments for the Delta and MAT instruments try Graham
Wakely at Euromat Ltd in Swindon, Wilts

We have just bought 50 Kiel device vials for our 253 and they were cheaper.

Refurbished filaments can be obtained from Mike Richardson at ATI
Maccesfield by e-mailing [log in to unmask]
