[photo-3d] Re: Local purchase of a slide bar

[John Thurston <gromit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have little doubt that Paul at Juneau Photo Works would be able to set
me up.  The problem is the cost.  In a shop his size, there is little
meaning in a "stock" order.  A customer after an odd ball piece will
have to make minimum order (or pay the service charge), and cover
shipping on top of that.  After paying him for the product and the $30+
shipping charges, I'll be way over budget.
  
George's offer was too polite to pass up. It was personal.  He knows the
product.  He was willing to put it the mail to me.  I'm looking forward
to mounting my PRO-70 on it and doing some close up stereos.  Thanks,
George.
