Well, let's do a little checking....

- Mini-lathe - "We expect a new shipment to arrive on or about
6/28/2006."

- Mini-mill - Apparently not carried any more...not on the site.

- Bandsaw - "We expect a new shipment to arrive on or about 8/10/2006."

Why does this not surprise me....

My theory is that these items are used in the old "bait and switch"
ploy where you come to the show thinking you will buy something maybe
worthwhile and they make sure to have the "garbage fill tomorrow" stuff
waiting for you to pick up instead.

Excuse me...I need to go to my shop and give each of my old American
machines a hug of appreciation...
