I've used GF9 magnetic bases for years.

However, they seem to be rather scarce these days. I've tried several webstores and they are all out of stock. GF9 is listing fewer and fewer magnetic bases on their site.

Unfortunately I am halfway through a rather large project that uses them, and I really don't want to re-base the half that is finished. Does anyone know of a source of GF9 20mm x 20mm square bases? And does anyone know if GF9 intends to produce them again?

I have the same issue. My LGS hasn't been able to get them for quite some time and I haven't found a good replacment source

You have to think some company will fill the void. There is money to be made. Lucky for me I stocked up enough for my AWI project.

Why don't you make your own, I do.

Where do you get the magnetic tape?

@ironicon

In the UK there is Magnetic Displays. They do trade to the US.

There's bound to be a US supplier. Shop around.

ScottS;

I have some that I don't need; three un-opened bags of GF-9 20mm square magnetic bases (36 in each) and one opened that is short three squares i.e. total of 33 squares plus the associated sheets for sale.

If you want them give me your email contact address.

Let's see if we can work out a deal, thanks!

Email sent.

Whoops, that's embarrassing.

Scottrsprague, not Scott (dot) Sprague.

I accidentally spliced in part of my work e-mail address there, sorry about that.

That helped immensely, thanks again.

I still can use more if anyone knows of a supplier or has any to sell!
