I have a friend that has about 8 ounces or so of Platinum and
Platinum/Rhodium thermocouples. He would like to find out how to
sell it. Would a refiner be the answer? According to him there are 2
wires - one is supposedly pure platinum and the other 97% Rhodium and
3% Platinum.

Today Platinum is $1288/oz and Rhodium is $5160/oz - no, I didn’t
forget a decimal point. I would suggest Johnson Matthey or Hoover and
Strong - big, reputable refiners, and talk to someone in person…
Glenn:
There is a company called Skycraft in Orlando FL that deals with
surplus electronic instrumentation. They stock a number of different
thermocouple wires and might be interested in buying the whole lot
for their stock. Here is their link:
