I have not seen or heard about these products for years. I know the finger buttons went bye-bye some time back. I never heard that the stems had been put into production.

The stems are ultra rare, there may have only been one run of them...? Joe himself is the only person I've ever known to have the stems.

The buttons had a few runs, but are still rare. I've owned a few sets over the years, and they are nice... But it's been probably 10-15 years since they have been made.

Best bet moving forward is to contact Martin Wilk... He makes new lightweight finger buttons with some customization options. I believe he uses aluminum, instead of stainless steel.
