It might be worth tracking them down to see what they might have; who knows, maybe you could even complete a collection of Semroc kits and accessories?

Dont think so-Ive inquired about that place for years. Theyre gone. I do vaguely remember all tha stuff U mentioned-especially tha Chemistry Sets !
