She said a competitor went out of business which has created a huge draw on their manufacturing capacity. She assured me that our small orders are not preempted by orders for 20,000 units. She did say most items are on a 12-16 week back order.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74658"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74658" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74861">I will offer the following if anyone thinks it might help for the future...perhaps we could take some of our member dues money and use it to purchase some units that we keep locally to avoid this in the future. Only problem is, I really do not want to be responsible for shipping. Someone we know and trust would have to volunteer to hold the stock and ship items when our members order them.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74658" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74658" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74910">Otherwise, we will just have to wait patiently.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74658" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1554891373982_74658" dir="ltr"><span>Jon</span></div><style>#yiv9201311544 #yiv9201311544 --
