You might want to take a look at alibaba.com. They put foreign manufacturer (mostly Chinese and Indian) together with US buyers. They have a sleazebay-like satisfaction guarantee whereby if the manufacturer doesn't do what he said, he'll be de-listed for Alibaba. I think they have a new store that is more retail oriented. We relay on them heavily for parts for our Roy induction heater. That buck-fourty washer would probably be less than a nickel from a chinese supplier. There is a place where you can post your needs and the mfrs respond. The MOQs are HIGHLY flexible. :-) John -- John DeArmond Tellico Plains, Occupied TN http://www.fluxeon.com <-- THE source for induction heaters http://www.neon-john.com <-- email from here http://www.johndearmond.com <-- Best damned Blog on the net PGP key: wwwkeys.pgp.net: BCB68D77 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
