You might check Coaxial Dynamics (CDI). Their slugs are interchangeable with
the Bird slugs and they have some ranges that Bird might not, apparently. Some
of the less common Bird slugs (like the 2500 watt ranges) are sometimes cheaper
from CDI too. Ever since Bird stopped using the metal shell for their slugs
there is little difference between Bird and CDI units.
