Hello Will,
We purchased a Cressington 308 station from Ted Pella about 3 years ago.
It has a quartz thickness monitor attachment (MTM-10) and is set up to
evaporate metals as well as carbon, but it is a modular design, so you
only buy what you need.
Perhaps a more expensive solution than you want or need. However, aside
from a bell jar arriving as granulate (which was more likely the shipping
company's fault than Ted Pella's) it has worked very well. Moreover, Ted
Pella was very helpful with the few glitches we did have.
The only thing I still want is some kind of miniature vacuum cleaner
(like a data vac), because the coater had a deep well that is difficult
to keep free of debris.
