Re: flexible aluminum... ugh

There have been 2 bulk buys of spun aluminum toroids in the past year. The
first was for a 24" x 6" and second was for a 30" x 9". I got in on the 30"
x 9" buy. They were made by OW Landergren in Massachusetts and were of
incredible quality. Cost was reasonable considering the quality ($270).
Perhaps you should try and get another one going. If not, OW Landergren will
sell in single quanitities but the prices are much higher.
