Eileen's Emporium Newsletter August 2015

Postby derekrussan » Fri Aug 21, 2015 5:03 pm

The summer holidays are nearly over and we already have the first show of the season under our belt, so time to start thinking about September's great shows, Guildex Telford, Expo North and Scaleforum. We look forward to meeting many of our customers face to face there. Please remember Expo EM North has a change of venue for this year only. Pre-orders are welcome with one weeks notice for Expo EM North and 2 weeks for Guildex and Scaleforum.

NEW PRODUCTS

Following the recent rise in price of the NEO CN airbrush, we are re-introducing the G35 that was so successful before the NEO came along. We can thoroughly recommend this as an entry level airbrush. The brush has been rebranded as the Sparmax SP-35C and the specification improved. It now features the following:

A Crown Cap for close work in addition to the standard cap.

Lid on the paint pot.

Preset handle to prevent accidental excesses.

Fitted with Dual Action control, and supplied with an alternate single action control.

Cleaning Brush.

2 Year Warranty.

The introductory price will be £41.50 until the end of September, after that it will be £43.00.

We expect to stocks to arrive during the first week of September, just in time for Guildex.

ANTEX TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED IRONS

Antex have informed us that the next delivery of the TCS Temperature controlled iron will incorporate a digital display, the price will remain the same at £60. We have no stock of the old version and will be getting the new ones in a few weeks. The TCS White Metal soldering iron has been withdrawn by Antex. We have very limited stock and will be unable to get any more so get in quick. This will leave the only irons we stock that are temperature controlled low enough for White Metal as the Soldering Stations (660A at £150 and Digital 690D at £200)

STOCK LEVELS

Stock levels have been reduced during the summer and we are now restocking for the main season. The only items that spring to mind as being out of stock and one where now stocks are not available quickly are:

DRHM080 0.8mm Dormer Drills

SLDA18 Antex 18W Soldering Iron

Antex TCS Temp Controlled Iron

Swann Morton Retractaway Handle

HOLD AND FOLD TOOLS

We have been clearing out our stores and found some Hold and Fold tools that are being offered at 25% discount on the current price. Those with cosmetic marks are otherwise to full current specification for Gold Editions. The old designs are the silver model and on the 8" and 14" the heads can be turned around after removal, but do not slide. The 8" are fitted with 3 screws and the 14" with 5, it is only the plates that are the old design.

At the time of writing we have:

14" - Old Design (offer price £75)

14" - Cosmetic marks (offer price £75)

8" - Old Design (offer price £58.50)

8" - Cosmetic marks (offer price £58.50)

4" - Old Design (offer price £36)

2" - Old Design (offer price £27)

Please e-mail or phone to purchase one of these.

SPECIAL OFFER

We have a dual offer this month.

This months product special offer is 50% off all 200mm long Brass Strips and Sections. These are end of line and will not be restocked (we have standardised on 250mm and 500mm lengths), so when they are gone, they are gone! This does not apply to other materials of other lengths. The code for this is 200AUG15, Valid until End September 2015. This offer includes orders for show collection.

The second and independent offer is free UK postage and Half Price international postage for orders placed before the end of August 2015 and subject to the following conditions: Minimum spend for Standard UK post is £15 (i.e. those orders normally charged at £3), for all other UK deliveries (those charged at £5 and over) the minimum spend is £25. For international the minimum spend is £30. The code for this is AUGPOST15 Valid until End August 2015

These offer are for web orders only and can be used separately or together. Please enter the code (or both codes) in the comments box on checkout. Please do not use the discount code box as this does not work. This applies to all orders placed before the validity dates above. The discount will not show on our web system, but will be taken from the payment and show on the formal invoice shipped with the goods.

Forthcoming Exhibitions:

Please note we return to Wigan this year.

Manchester are re-introducing a city centre show this year on 5/6 December. We are pleased to be able to attend and support this show. However, it does clash with the Reading O Gauge show (5 December), so the stock we will have at Manchester will be limited. Pre-ordering is advised.

Do not forget you can beat the queues at shows by pre-ordering through the website. There is a checkout option for this. You can choose to pay through the website or on collection. Please state in the 'Comments' box which show you wish to collect the order from.
