Default X-Post-Looking for Omori Meter supplier in US

Sorry for the X-post but my search is going nowhere. I've been looking for a particular Omori gauge (ADCH-425-AFC) for over a week now. Does anyone know a supplier in the US. I never got a response back from their home office. I've always heard they make a high-quality gauge, this one is mechanical but they make an electronic version also. Here's the are the link:

Any ideas welcome
Steve

I doubt you'll find one. Omori pulled out of the US market suddenly about a year or two ago. Omori even left their main distributor high and dry. It was ugly.

Pretty sad. At one time I was looking for a supplier for Omori and I know of several others who were looking for Omori meters.

Time for Plan B.

Wow, some of those gauges look real nice. Keep us posted if you find a place to get them.

So is this an old site or are they back?http://www.omoriusa.com/

Guess we'll find out, J-sec tuning also sells them here and are listed as a distributor along with Gruppe. We'll see what pans out.

It's been a while since I heard they pulled out. BUT... That site looks new. Perhaps they had a problem with the previous distributor?

I'd call one of the dealers listed.

Omori is back in the US now under Omori USA. They are the distributor and supply to vendors like J-Spec. I talked to J-Spec today and he will get pricing and all the info and get back to me. If you call the Omori number you get J-Spec. I'll keep everyone posted who's interested in their gauges. A mix n' match GB would be good if the interest is high enough.
