Thank you for your enquiry. We do not have any of the Isotherm heaters in stock. I will need to contact (Our Supplier) tomorrow for price and availability.
We would need pre-payment prior to ordering and we take all major cards except Diners.
I will email you as soon as I hear back from (Our Supplier).
