Sad news, but I'm afraid we're gonna see a lot more of this.

You gotta think there is value in the name. They have been around for way to long. I'd bet another manufacturer buys the name.

Have you called them to see if they have them in stock? I'm pretty sure they were the first folks I called about a month or so ago looking for a cam for Chris Teed...I called all over the country, and finally found a small warehouse in Tennessee that had *1* sitting on the shelf...

I can't go into details, but I just got a very encouraging phone call from someone who's had ties with Crane for a very long time.

All isn't lost yet!

I agree, looks like current management is trying to make something happen and get things back up and running.

It's strange seeing the parking lot virtually empty....

Hi Rob:

I didn't call, but did place an order for two Z/28 cam kits. My order was confirmed, which normally doesn't happen unless they have the parts in stock. It was late last night, so I couldn't call. No big deal if my order gets canceled, but figured it wouldn't hurt to try.

Of course, a phone call during business hours is still best to check on availablity.

Lynn
