    Old Silhouette SPX zyls?

    Anyone know a source for dead stock of the Silhouette SPX zyls, or have some you're willing to unload? Specifically I want the good old M 1896 with the lovely 58 eye size, but I could use others as well. I still have a few customers addicted to them and I would like to keep a few on hand to accomodate these folks. Tried a few of the alternatives and they are just not acceptable to me.

    Thanks!

    I think Silhouette still has some of the SPX, not many styles, but still available.

    I think Silhouette is coming back with the SPX Zyls. They may have a model similar too in shape. I saw the try from my rep, but never dug in deep with them.

    They do have current SPX plastic, called SPX Art. I'm wearing one.

    Yes, they do have that one also, it's one of my best sellers. The SPX One we are talking about is a full frame version. Old ladyish and ugly, lol

    They also have some nice old Giorgio Armany as well.

    New ones have different bridges, those must be "vintage."
