EMDE supplies are available direct from the manufacturer, S & D Enterprises at:

                                S & D Enterprises
                                40604 N. Kenosha

According to Henry Wilhelm, anti-newton glass doesn't work that well.  If you're
looking for the best glass, use the EMDE.  It's the purist glass I've seen.
It is available in plain and anti-newton varieties.

With the old style EMDE normal mount, it was almost impossible to adjust the
chips horizontally.  The original die wore out and S & D redesigned the mask
to be like the EMDE 7-perf mount, which uses four corner tabs that you can
slide the chip around in.  You need to check with S & D to find out about the
availability of the new mask.  The last time I talked to S & D in Sept. 1995
it was supposed to be available in Oct. 1995.  I find using the EMDE masks
in the EMDE frames easierand less expensive than using the Albion's in
cardboard.  I have virtually abandoned anything requiring a cardboard
foldover because I find it more time-efficient not to have to cut
strips of tape for the foldover.
