Here is the list of exhabitors from the LB Show, maybe you'll see a name that rings a bell

Accurate

I was going to say "Release Reels" but they're not on the LB list. Very nice just the same but higher cost than the Avets (but lower than the Accurates)...

I looked at the list for ever and can't find it, and no it wasn't accurate

I think I know which ones you were looking at. They had mostly blue anodized and a few silver and maybe a gold right? Kind of in the middle of the show small booth and a little disorganized?

That guy said he was from the East Coast and sold a lot in Florida and was trying to get a toe hold in California at the show. I had a brochure but I think I recently tossed it.
