Contact Fred Smith ((512) 396-8276) - Stellar Mold and Tool in Texas (They

have two locations). I have had great luck with them but I'm not sure what you

mean by cheap. (U$A, U$A)

It's been a while but I've used the following companies to do molding:

Plastic Model Engineering in Idaho

DTM in Colorado

Amerex in San Luis Obispo

Pacific Plastics and Engineering in Soquel/Santa Cruz

All did the molds as well as the molding.

I've been using a molder in New Jersey for several years. I know they

have the capability to do tooling, but I'm not sure whether they use it

for more than repairs and maintanance. They are:

Lor-Tech Plastics

45 Industrial Road

Berkeley Heights, NJ 07922

908-464-2255

It's owned and operated by a husband/Wife team, David and Loretta

Mafucci (sp?). You can tell them I sent you.
