Try Arizonia Instruments - I've used them for years with great results. (Not affiliation - just a happy end user)

You can pick up used units on Ebay or other web sites if you look around.

Just wanted to add a word of caution...

Sample handling is critical w/ PC resins. The PC will pick up ambient moisture so fast that you must transfer the samples in a sealed container from sample location to the instrument or your results will be in error.

I suspect the repeatability... given in the specs as:

Repeatability (g) ( 3g sample) 0.2% 0.3% 0.5%

is too high for PC/Polyester work. Maybe ok for polyamide.
