Default Great Zaino Info

For all you Zaino addicts out there...
The original Zaino site (zainostore.com) has always been full of info and good to use and of course Sal Zaino will answer all your questions, but I came upon this site of the Southern CA distributor to pass on. The address is www.lazaino.com. For first timers or newbies, they have a condensed version of application instructions that are easy to follow. Also, the site sells the 100% cotton USA made towels that Zaino recommends that have the seams and labels removed and cotton thread added to the edges to keep them from fraying. And the price is very reasonable at $10 for the largest Marcal towel.

Thought I'd pass it on.

How much do they charge for shipping locally in So Cal? Are the prices any better than zainostore.com?

Hmmm... not sure. Give Ira a call. He's a really nice guy. Number is on his website:

http://www.lazaino.com

Ask him about his arcade collection.

LOL.... hmm... not sure if he'll remember me. Though we talked for about an hour on MAME/Arcade systems and setup.

Not a bad idea to try though.
