Alan;
I received an envelope from them yesterday. My excitement was soon
squashed when I too realized that it was only the "Blue" price list and
a note stating that they were "temporarily out of the catalog you
requested", but that they would send one out as soon as they became
available.
Oh well, I do have a 1990 or so catalog, so if their part numbers
haven't changed since then, I will at least know what the stuff in that
catalog now costs.

Reid,
I'm glad I'm not the only one having problems getting catalogs from
TRF. I ordered a catalog for my Spit about 6 weeks ago and am still waiting.
I got an envelope from them yesterday and was starting to get excited
thinking the catalog was here, and when I opened it, it was their new
pricelist. Now you would think that they would realise that a pricelist is
just about useless without the catalog to get the part# from! I read
somewhere that their sales were down during the last couple of years. You
think they might catch on soon as to why????
