Thread Carriage for Madeira Thread

At the 2008 Expo I seen a vendor was selling thread carriages to acommodate a spool of Madeira thread. The vendor was to the right of the main doorway entrance into the Expo, I believe his name is Scott.
My question is to any of the vendors reading this: will anyone have such a thread carriage for a Rodsmith Rod Wrapper model# RW-3L for sale at this years Expo?

Thanks in advance.

I just put an empty spool in the chuck of my rod lathe, put the Madeira spool on my pac bay carriage withjust the washer and nut and transfer the thread to another size empty spool.

Scott (Fishsticks/RodDancer) will be there again. I just use the older style RW-3L thread carriage (someone at the show should have them) with the vertical posts and disc tensioner for Madeira. I do a lot of running color changes and it's a lot easier than wrestling with the wing nuts & springs on the new style carriages IMO.
