Subject: Conservator's Emporium
Does anyone know if Conservator's Emporium is still in business? Three months ago, we ordered charts and pens for our hygrothermographs made by M&T Precision, which Conservator's Emporium has in their catalog and for which, in theory, they also sell supplies. We have always had a lot of trouble obtaining these charts and pens, so I ordered them 4 months in advance of needing them. The problem is that we've heard nothing from them, and they have not replied to any of our phone or email queries about the order. The design of the M&T hygrothermograph is such that I haven't found any other charts or pens that would work. In the past, I tried to buy directly from the manufacturer in England, but they preferred to deal through a distributor. As far as I've been able to determine, Conservator's Emporium seems to be the sole supplier--at least in the U.S. I would be most grateful to hear about another source for these supplies.
