They sent me about a 60 page catalog that consists mainly of fuzzy photocopies and pasted parts photos obviously taken from the main supply house catalogs and some instructional photos taken from Reblitz, first edition. A separate sheet says that the catalog is out of date in parts, so one must look at a listed web page for page updates. The prices are discounted 10% from their list for technicians; but it looks like their prices seem to be almost double that of the supply houses (am I wrong on this?). Therefore, I presently see no reason to order from IPS, unless one has no conventional trade accounts set up. I saw no evidence to support their claim that they might have some parts that no one else has. Please correct me if this conclusion is wrong. Fred Scoles, RPT
