Where to buy Pabst Blower Cheap(er)?

[ymboc]

Hey guys... I asked around about this a while ago on another <cough> forum... unfortunately they're not allways helpfull there so I'll give these forums a shot :p

I'm looking for a place to buy a Pabst RG125DC Series Flatpak Blower.

I'm located in canada and the only place I can find it is for $80 CDN from electro-sonic (a local typically over-priced electronics supplier). On top of the price there's a three week lead-time, so it wouldnt be able to get it anytime soon.

So, can anyone suggest where I should look to buy this thing?

Details on the Blower can be found here (http://www.ebm.com/series.asp?SeriesID=RG125DC).

Here's how intend to use it:

just try to get a sample from papst, they are used to selling them in 10k blocks, so they'll often give you a couple to sample them, if they think you're buying tons of them

hmm.... good advice.... although I'm not a big fan of lying my ass off just to get free samples though. <shrug>.... I was hoping for something legit.... although if worse comes to worse it may come to that :/

Thanks though,
