The Rix products are still made and are all in stock at Walthers. They offer several options including bare poles to which one glues cross-arms, and several styles of pole with the cross arm. When checking the on-line Walthers catalog, I noticed that the Rix product is now molded in brown plastic, originally it was molded in white and needed to be painted. I personally think the Atlas ones are just as nice, and the cost per pole is almost identical, so I would say decide on 2- 3- pr 4-cross-arm and buy accordingly (Atlas is 3, Rix is 2 or 4). I would never spend my valuable hobby time assembling poles from scratch when the manufactured alternative is so inexpensive.
