Hi Hans,

The best, and I really mean the best, source for magazines is from GT (here on the forum!!) Send him an email or give him a call and he'll fix you up.

Hans, Yes..GT is the man, Frank is right on the money there.

Originals are scarce as hens teeth and demand high dollar.

...D'OH!!!...

I just sent Gerald an email telling him I lost his street address (I owe him $$$)...

We need a sticky with combined street addresses of the various members here who provide services/parts/media...

...Like the one for the Luger Blueprint CDs...
