Please be patient while the slideshow of the NEW ARTICLES is downloaded.

Please check this side often for News and to order new articles.

Deliveries from the US currently take abaout 3 to 4 weeks. 
With DCC it can take up to 2 month and more because of the worldwide chip shortage.

The worsening euro-dollar exchange rate and the rising prices and costs (also 
in the USA) are forcing us to block goods that are not in stock for direct orders. 
These goods can only be requested by email. If delivery is possible, the price will
be communicated and a binding order will be requested. AFTER payment of the 
goods we order from the supplier!
