The Griot`s black "L" swab.

[Concours.John]

I have been speaking with Griot reps at Ault Park Concours and this weekend at Keenland Concours.



It has been confirmed that they are

discontinuing the white/blue and white cone "L" swab. I have been buying the kit that included these for a while. I believe it was Accumulator who asked if I could find out more.



I spent some time talking and they are relaying interest back. If anything else I`m working to find a way to get them or where. Will let those interested know.



The new kit includes more of the white rectangle swabs. I did pick one up. I guess we`ll be heating and bending those till more info comes out.



The L shape was great for outerlaced wire wheels and

other jobs.

concours.john- Eh, that`s bad news Should you ever find another source I`ll be ordering plenty of `em.



The other swabs I have just don`t work the same for me, and I have a whole routine where I use the blue side foam for some things and the other/white side for other stuff, besides using the "L"-shaped cone end for certain tasks. Of all the things for them to discontinue Can`t believe that you and I are apparently the only people who care :nixweiss

Out of curiosity, can anyone post a photo or link to what these swabs look like. Would be a big help when looking other sources or viable alternatives.

Concourswanna b- Thanks for posting that link...gotta think whether 15 of the desired ones are worth all those others (of which I already have dozens and dozens) :think:



Eh, just placed my order for two sets, don`t wanna miss out on what might be my last chance.



Thanks again!



EDIT: No, they *do not* have the double ended swabs Order cancelled.

I was hoping they just had some old stock on the shelf... well, back to searching med. supply sites.

They haven`t emailed me back yet... probably sell to pharm. companies with clean rooms.

Maybe Barry can get somewhere...

I would think those might also be useful to photographers as well -- maybe see if camera shops have something like that meant for cleaning lenses/camera bodies?
