www.crowntrophy.com Than goodess for Crown Trophy and their locally owned stores. I found one in Jacksonville Florida who have been more than helpful with all of my "off the wall" needs. They have a laser engraver that is powerful enough to cut up to .25" thick CAST Acrylic plastics and of course engrave numerous types of material. They are the onse resonsible for helping me with the 389 Replicas and other small engraving details in the simulator!
