Default Black wing discontinued??

Well, after to much debating between blackwing and Vararam I finally decided to save some money and go with the BW. TPIS has had them for $180 up till today. Went to order and now $250!! apparently the manufacturer is going to stop making them so all the prices are going up. Looks like the Vararam might have to be.

Do a search. Last I heard the Blackwing was picked up by another vendor. They may have changed manufacters, but they are still very much available. :thumbs:

I just got a catalog from Sgoggin-Dickey a couple of days ago. They have it listed in there. (sdpc2000.com)

I have a pile of them in inventory, that we just received, so I am not sure what is going on?!?! :confused:
What I know happened is Donaldson declared an exclusive wholesaler so everyone has to buy from them. In turn, the price has gone up pretty good.

Anyway, we do have them. They are in stock and ready to ship if anyone is interested.

Also, for the used one for sale, you will need a coupler to adapt the blackwing to fit your application. We do have those in stock as well. They are $11.95.

Hope this helps,
Thanks,
