It turns out that mine is now 11 years old, and still sorta useful,
but their web catalog is OUTSTANDING. If you've got wireless and a
laptop, you can even browse on the toilet, and given the size of the
paper one, many laptops are lighter.

Hi Don,
You are right getting a paper catalog was like pulling
teeth. They are tough to get a catalog from. But in their defense they
surely are not cheap. A 10 year old catalog is almost as good as a new
one. An old catalog number is always good, if the product changes they
will tell you the new best replacement. and any differences. Before I
retired and had tried to get a catalog by phone they would tell me who
had one I could possibly use. I did get a hand me down copy.
As a reference book they are worth their weight in gold. The
information in them and how to select the correct item is priceless.
Service is better than great. I'm in NJ and can call at 6P
and the order will be at my door the next day for standard UPS rates,
not overnight or extra charges for their prompt service. I don't ever
recall an "out of stock " order.
An amazing outfit.
73,
Bob
