SC - wafer help

[Ben Engelsberg]

A local chain store called "Table Talk" here in Tucson usually carries
pizelle irons.  You should also be able to get them at restaurant supply
stores.  If all that fails, a source can almost certainly be found online.

If you don't have "Table Talk" stores in your locale, I think they have a
catalog service also.

Here is an URL I found for a catalog page selling these devices, as well:
