Model Engine Supplies

[portlandron]

Where in the U.S. or Canada can I get supplies/materials for model engines?

Looking for a 3/4" pressure gauge at this time but would like to find a dependable supplier.

Ordered a gauge and a book from a supplier in Texas six months ago. After many phone calls and request to let me know when it would be shipped today he said they had got in a supply gauges but all had been sold and they were on back order. He did not know why I did not get one. As for the book, which six months ago he said he had in stock, he did not have any.

Also, check with American Model Engineering Supply.
I don't know if they have the exact size gauge you want, but look over their website. Really
nice people to deal with!

Ron, spill your guts and tell us who you were dealing with, so that we do not fall into the trap. I went round and round for over a year with one of the larger vendors and I FINALLY got what I had ordered and was kept in the dark about why until I threatened legal course. Then was told what happened, I will never again deal with them as that is just bad business and the whole thing soured me too bad to forgive them.

Same issues - dealing with horrible customer service and not getting orders.
