Got a plastic chinese one on ebay last year for less than $60.  NO
CALIBRATION FLUID.  I borrowed calibration fluid from a friend and the unit
was right on.  I'm very happy... except

The line marking the sugar level seems fuzzy to me.  It only approximates
the value as it's a wide line.  This may be true with all refractors, I
