porkbone Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Here are direct links to York dealer listings, organized by state. If your state isn't listed, it's because York doesn't have any listing on their website. Alabama Arizona Arkansas California Colorado Connecticut Delaware Florida Georgia Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Nebraska Ohio Oregon Pennsylvania Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington Wisconsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don of tha new grip Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Thanks ALOT Porkbone...again you have helped me, I see the listings of the state I'm moving to and there is a dealer right by where i'm moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 Caveat Emptor Make sure you call the places before you go. Some carry York products, but not cast dumbells. Also, I've found some of the phone numbers either don't work at all, or are private homes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkbone Posted September 20, 2003 Author Share Posted September 20, 2003 Do you know where in Europe?Thanks a lot! Bicio Best I can give you is York's international dealer locator, but it doesn't look like it will be of much help. It's at: http://www.yorkbarbell.com/dealer.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 PDA offers a loadable blob that is hollow and weighs 6 lbs. It is the size of a York 50 lb blob, and can be loaded with leadshot up to as much as 68 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pro Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 Thanks with that I found a dealer VERY close to wear I live. The funny thing is I was supposed to go there because someone at GNC told me to get a bodyfat caliper there because they didnt carry any. I put off going there for about four months too!

ianders1 Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 (edited) The two links on Yorks' site are different. Scratch this post. Edited February 20, 2004 by ianders1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Buy them from me. I scored a bunch of them, and it seems like you can't find them anywhere anymore - at least not like this. Email: Sybersnott@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I guess the best bet is too find a gym that still has them and try talking the owner into some selling or trading. These things are rare and I want one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cunny Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Well I e-mailed the Uk Guy and he said he had none available and that they are discontinued. Maybe we should tell York how in demand they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I think really good idea would be too just have York cast blobs rather than actual db's. I wonder what they would think about this. I know I would buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wood Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 The York foundry is shut down; no more Blobs from them period. Atomic Athletic has some interesting ideas in the works though... stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Go with the PDA loadable blob. It only weighs 6lbs so shipping costs are low. It can be loaded up to a lot more than 50 lb too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I've been wanting one of those and I do think that it's a better training tool, but there's something satisfying about having the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevelc Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I was in York this past week. The few dumbells they had left were by the register. The largest were 90lbs(grabbed one of them), I think the next highest was 70lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqeezeMasterFlash Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 That saddens me that no more will ever be made. Anyone with a spare 45 or 50 for sale, please PM me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Van Weele Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I sure hope someone starts producing something close to the old blobs that are no longer available. I have confidence Atomic Atletic will come through with something though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Piche Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 http://www.fractionalplates.com/cgibin/eda...&catalogno=9.55 Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odin Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 Filled with lead shot assuming conservative 85% fill efficiency (due to granularity and the nozzle) the Blobette 50 would nominally weigh 68 pounds. A Blob 68 would be the equivalent of a York 140 with the 100 dimensions. We haven't heard of anyone working with those yet. Hmmm, I think John from PDA might want to update this page.

Matt Van Weele Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 68 pounds. Safe until Wade Gillingham tries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
