Yes, it is real, as I just received my 4400A lathe and 5400 mill just 
last month with the 20% discount.  I agree it is'nt obvious as to 
how to contact them as they are still working on the Sherline page, 
but I used Mark Rogo's email address as shown on the bottom of 
there home page.   I then received a response from a Ted Robbins,
unfortunetly I do not have any email address or phone number for 
him.  But try Mark's email if you have'nt already.

I ordered a bunch of Sherline stuff from them recently (deluxe XY
base, rotary table, steady rest, etc.).  Mark Rogo is the e-mail
contact, but Ted Robbins is the Sherline guy.  Also, until they get
their web site together, you can't pay with a credit card, so be 
prepared to send a cashier's check/money order or to have them sit
on your check until it clears.  Just make up your list of stuff
with part numbers, and they'll get back to you with a price.

A guy on the metal section of CIS has. You have to EMAIL to order and
they only take certified checks or COD I think.

  I bought a Lathe/Milling Attachment/etc from Morton last month.  There
was a bit of screwing around as they havn't done much internet business
and no international orders before, but when all was finished I had a 
fairly complete set up within two weeks of sending them my money.  I'll
be doing another order in a month or so for some accessories that I find
I need.  The prices are EXCELLENT, I got a complete set up of the 4410A,
Mill conversion and accessories for less than the base 4100 model here
in
Australia.

Morton's contact is Mark Rogo: [email-masked] , but the owner, 
Ted Robbins can be had at [email-masked].  Mark tends to go
on business trips every so often and no one looks at his email, but Ted
is computer literate.  In terms of customer relations they're a bit
slack, but the prices are worth putting up with it.

  As always, your mileage may vary.
