Does anyone know what happened to Speedwitch Media and Oddballs decal companies? Both of their websites have been down for some time. Thanks, Roger Huber
Oddballs is no longer listed on Great Decals but his website is still there as of last Thursday, I would not send in any orders as his ALPS printers are being repaired and he is not supplying decals at this time per numerous posts on various Yahoo Groups that I belong to so I would not order anything from him until such time as you here his printers are back in operation.
Speedwitch website does not seem to be working but his blog is and he is currently not producing anything due to other matters (his is a one-man shop).

Oddball Decals owner Tom Stolte is still in McLouth, KS, but apparently does not keep much in stock and prints to order. Be aware, he may not ship your order and may not refund your money. He has one complaint on BBB site and I am filing a complaint, also. One year and lots of excuses why order was not shipped or money not returned after I requested…
I just talked with Show Me Hobbies - They confirmed that Tom is shut down. I guess he could not get the Alps printers repaired… Too bad, a lot of neat decals were on his web site.

Owner of Oddball Decals is Tom Stolte in McLouth, KS. He takes orders on internet and accepts payment by mail but does not deliver decals and does not refund payment. Be aware if dealing with him.
Tom is a proven LIAR.
I have been getting the runaround from him for 6 months. I have been told in the past two months that his “girlfirend” is arriving “this weekend” with her ALPS printer. She has yet to arrive.
I liked his stuff…but I am going to make it a mission of mine to let people know what has happened with my order. And I have all the eamile to back this up
**Like Jim, I contacted Show Me Lines, and this was the reply I got, "**Unfortunately, all the stories are true. As a result of the deteriorating situation and the way it reflects on us, we no longer represent OddBalls. I doubt he’ll ever be back in business."
Decals have long been the last area where the so called basement manufacturer held strong. I ordered stuff from Tom S./Oddball years ago and he delivered – and I feel sorry for someone whose entire product line depends on having a working ALPS printer. Having said that there is no excuse for not refunding when you can’t deliver
I cannot vouch for all the decal sources mentioned on this website, but there are many sources too small to advertise, too small to be noticed, and often strictly local in their distribution, but this guy has tried to gather together some information about them
