Unfortunately, the business was more than just the amateur market 
(it provided a large number of aftermarket replacements for the 
broadcast market) but more specifically was heavily tied to the 
design skills of Peter Dahl.  I seriously doubt that the business 
would be a going concern based on the amateur market for existing 
designs and any investor would have a difficult time making a 
return if he needed to compensate/compete for a top flight 
transformer designer.  

P W Dahl & Co, survived because of Peter Dahl's intellectual 
contribution was valued at considerably less than the market rate.
