Someone recently made a request here for a source of Fischertechnik
parts. Well, after conversing with people on the weekend, I have a bit of
info to share:

Lou Boselli in NY (state) has a number of F.T. sets for sale. He's not
particularly interested in holding on to them, so I would guess that his
prices are reasonable. Oh, I just found his advert in the "Canadian
Meccanoman's Newsletter":

" ...following sizes available: #100, #50, #50+MOTOR, #100 Standard,
#50/1 Addo-on Pack, Statik # 100s, 200s, 300s. 8 Sets Total, mint, boxes
still sealed. Asking US$275 + shipping. Lou Boselli, 19 Payson Road,
Cornwall on Hudson, NY, 12520."

Lou is also the Eastern USA distributor for Meccano (France), and sells a
complete line of sets, spare parts, and accessories.

I don't know anything about FischerTechnik, so please don't ask me
questions about it. On the other hand, I'm very knowledgeable about
Meccano nad Exacto, so barrage away with queries.
