Does anyone know what is going on with American Limited? I have had some items on backorder for over a year.
Where have you been tring to get them from?
OR, where has your dealer been tring to get them from?
Maybe you or your dealer need to try another source:

It does look like Walthers is not carring them any more?
I send them an e-mail - we will see?

I am backordered thru Walthers, some items are being projected for delivery in December 1012
American Limited is a small company, maybe even a part time thing. You may want to give Bowser a call and see if they have the American Limited items you want. They are on the distributor list and they sell direct to consumers just like Walthers does.
Also, many shops may have them in stock even if the manufacturer is out of stock or behind on production right now.
I will be interested to see what kind of response my e-mail to them gets, as I use a lot of their products myself. I have not bought any recently as I have a good stock, but I may need more.

They are apparently under new management as of October 2010. That is all I can find at the moment.

Today I recieved an e-mail reply from the new owners. The previous owners pasted away and they are working on getting it back into production - no schedule yet, but they do plan to bring the line back to market.

That’s good to know. Their diaphragms are just what the doctor ordered for my Walthers cars!
That is what I am looking for as well. It is good to hear that someone has taken on the product line; in so many cases, a small operator passes and the business passes with him or her as well.
