They are gone now. The only short motors I've ever had before now were the ones made by tbzep Industries.

Pretty sure the tbzep industries Shorty motors are more reliable modern motors.

I was gonna say that I just received a big shipment of TBzep Industries motors just the other day! But, if those won’t do.... Seriously, while I don’t really need that many more vintage motors (there are still a few ‘types’ I don’t have), I don’t have any for sale. I’m still building up my collection, not thinning it out. I think there is a box or two in various eBay auctions right now, if you want to peruse those. They do come up with some frequency there. Matter of fact, there was a huge bunch of them that came up about a week ago, but the seller got snitched on and all the motors got pulled by eBay. Earl

I really DESPISE RATS (those posing as shipment cops). Useful as a Bowlin' Ball in a Swimming Pool.
Should be sentenced to a year's worth of being a daily prank VICTIM. Seriously, find something better to do.

A seller on ebay is currently handling the estate sale of Thiokol engineer John Rakonen. I noticed a few days ago he had posted some 'model' rocket motor tubes and graphite nozzle inserts for sale. I had not been back over to his listings since then, but stopped by there earlier and he now has some clothing items, one of which was John's Morton Thiokol lab coat, with his name still on them. Not in the absolute best of shape, but I snagged them regardless.
Anyway...no telling what else may be posted by this seller, so if you would like to keep tabs on what else may come up (looks like it may be big bunch of things eventually), here is link to their listings. Link: https://www.ebay.com/sch/jacksonequ...=p2047675.l2562 Earl

Here is an additional (unsolicited) plug for one of our own here, harsas, who has a fairly decent list of vintage kits currently listed on eBay. A good blend of Semroc, Estes, a few MPC, even an MRI kit, and I think at least one Centuri kit.
I got the Semroc Aerobee-Hi from him just recently. Matter of fact, I won it on Sept. 7 and the kit arrived TODAY, Sept. 10! Very, very fast shipping, well packed, and the kit was mint. Here’s his current list: https://www.ebay.com/sch/harsas/m.h...=p2047675.l2562 Earl
