We Have Moved!

We have moved from Northridge, California to Richland, Washington.  Our new telephone number is 509-942-8106 and our new fax number is 509-628-0644.  Our new address is P.O. Box 1760, Richland, Washington 99352.  Our move is now complete and we are back in full operation. 

NOTE:  The cost of our white metal has tripled in the last 2 years so we have had to raise some of our prices.
