Value shades

[Hinxy]

I'm running out of Noritake Value Shades for PFMs. I use Noritake EX3 porcelain and all I do (51st year) Is a few PFM cases a week.
The 3D value shades are not being manufactured any more. Any suggestions? Anyone have some they don't use anymore that they would be interested in selling?

I have some Shofu Halo Value Plus and Value Minus I could sell you. Otherwise, here are a couple of conversion charts:

Thank you Car 54. ( I'm old enough to remember " Car 54 Where Are You" when it was the most popular show on television).

Anyway, I decided to pick up a few shades of Vita Master from Vident and see if i can make them work with my preferred metal and margin porcelain. I have a conversion chart, in fact several and have had so so results.
Thanks again for your response.

Yeah the conversions only get you kinda close - I used ex3 3d porcelain for a few years and remember them being pretty close.. unfortunately I sold my ex3 lot a few years ago. Congrats on making it 51 years !

Thanks! Happily, I can still find ways to improve these PFMs but obsolescence seems just around the corner.
