Jack, I agree with DV's statement. We took the responsibility of this forum years ago. I also monitor the factory web site and reply when necessary. Both Ed and I are believers in the Classic product and that is why we stepped up and decided to help. I can't give you a reason why they don't attend shows. I know for myself I quit doing shows years ago. The cost was too great for the benefit. Maybe Gary has found this true also. Not all replica companies are represented at the shows. Pete is under a heavy load and has had some medical problems lately. I think the assumption sometimes is that Classic is a huge company but they are a small business like many other replica mfg's. If you ever have a problem getting a return call or don't get an answer on e-mail send it to me and I will respond. I don't work for Classic but after 13 years I have a good relationship and I want to see them grow and improve. My toll free number is 1-888-722-6272. My e-mail is
