Nope!  :-)

 MMC> Mat Electronics
 MMC> Electronic Parts and Accessories
 MMC> 49 Richard Road
 MMC> Warminster, PA  18974

Warminster sounds vaguely Philly-area,  and the 215 area code confirms that.

 MMC> Web page is:  www.matelectronics.com

Noted.

 MMC> Online catalog is in PDF (I know you like that!)   :-)

Oh joy.  Why would they do that?

 MMC> There is a box to request mail catalog.

 MMC> Page 107 of the catalog has that GW2200 conductive pen you were

Hmm.

Now that sounds like it'd be handy to have,  too.

 MMC> They do still have the pages with all the microwave oven parts. TV

 MMC> That's about all I can do for now...    :-))

That's plenty.  I'll have to hit that site and see what they offer...
