NOPE don't have the new catalog, don't want one either. Yes it would be nice to have one, but I can look at it online and save that tree.so I can build something out of it.:D

Thanks to all of you who responded. I now know, thanks to SS CS Linda, through doug45601, that a printed version of the Holiday catalog is knot available. No one has volunteered that they have received a printed copy of the catalog that is currently on pdf. Has anyone? This is what the cover pages look like: http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/MC_Cover_08.pdf

Yes, Tim, I do have that issue of the catalog. If it is any consolation, I find few differences between it and the previous printed catalog.
I received this one at the last TA I attended here in Tucson a few weeks ago. I have received no catalogs by mail in over a year, not even sales fliers.
It seems that if you do not work with Shopsmith via the internet....you don't work with Shopsmith. SOMEONE, PLEASE TELL ME I AM WRONG!!!
I understand that advertising is expensive but doing without the benefits of effective advertising is deadly to a small business like Shopsmith.

Sorry! Can't tell you that your assumption is wrong! Computer or telephone are the only two ways to get in touch with them. The good news is - they haven't changed their tele number.

Hi dusty,
At least I know that it was available now.
Hi Chuck,
They have cut back their hours though. Only open M-F, 9-5, Eastern. Period. They used to be open M-F 9-8 and S 9-3. Their FAX number is knot working either. Knot that I ever used it.
I sure hope only good things for them. I hope that the reported selling of their building was helpful.

Dusty,
have you been holding out on us about a new TA series?
I could only wish. I was _really_ looking forward to the TA coming to VA about now. I was also going to solve a couple of my challenging Christmas presents by giving attendances as presents.

I understand that they have taken a lease on their existing space. This leads me to believe that not only will their telephone number remain unchanged (as charlese points out) but maybe their mailing address won't change either.
I wish I could tell you, Ivan, that there is a new TA circuit in the making but I would not know that even if there was.
