Obviously an incredible deal. Might as well stock up for Christmas. I
believe six will do. Does it come in any other color but Purple?

I'm looking for the round part that goes at the end of the tab. It keeps the
case hinge from opening more than 90 degrees, and helps center it.  They're
usually about 3/100 of an inch around.  I've lost the originals.  I'm
looking for stainless steel or a polished cast unit.  Does anybody still
make these in ten packs the way Godbout used to?  For obvious reasons, I'm
really tired of buying them in the modern 12 packs. There's a place near
here that says they have some in the back if you ask, but it wasn't clear
when I called them what they meant - has anybody dealt with these bozos?  I
tried the "Triumph" series from Uniprobe.com (now part of HSS) but the edges
were perforated and I couldn't align the centers very well.  I'm just using
an ordinary desktop to do the initial alignment - remember the fluorescent
marks that used to be in those Swiss units? Now that I wear reading glasses,
those really could help.  Sometimes the hobby shop had those slip-on
magnifiers to make  it easier, but I haven't been able to get them anywhere
except at Cromulant, and  there's no-one answering their phones either.

I'm looking for their address be snapped up by the email trawlers.
They can get a bit of their own back :-)
