They are located in Satellite Beach. Ken will be glad to discuss your needs and get you a part quickly. I got mine in 2 days.

Scicon Technologies Corporation - Rapid Prototype facility. Located in Valencia, CA and WA. Contact Jim Kelly in sales and tell him Leigh Martin from Lightfoot Ventures sent you (I promised to recommend him). He will likely give a discount if he knows you are part of the CFIC.
