Tc Michigan area - need supplies!

[lalettab]

Anyone know anywhere local for supplies? I need some tube and really don't want to pay 30 in shipping (nor do I really want to wait, it's my day off and I have air..) thanks, and hi everyone. It's been a few years, nice to see you all.

I"m guessing by Tc your in Traverse city? If that's the case your probably out of luck. Your best bet would be to hit up abr, ( I'm sure I'll here about this from someone) but they've always done me right and usually gets to me pretty quick. There is also this small place in Lansing I believe called delphi but I don't think they have a lot of stock for boro but could be worth checking the out. Good luck

I've done a lot of business with ABR, never had a problem. I just lack patience, and I guess I've been spoiled over the years with being able to go to a shop. Delphi seems like they have a small color selection, but no clear stock? At least I didn't see any on their site. I guess it's back to stalking the ups man for me.

Yea dude I was super lucky for a few years. I would just run down the street to a pretty big distributor with all the glass I could make, trade for raw materials and get a check for the rest. Its really funny cause for a while I thought every town had a place like this lol

Well, hell, when I started we just drove into Eugene, went to any of the various supply shops. It was like the candy shop from willy wonka. Now I live in bfe Michigan, and apparently have to learn metric to order tube? Of course when I started dinosaurs roamed the earth and gtt's were those New "flashlight looking things".
