[TenTec] ARRLWeb: ARRL NEWS: Scott Robbins, W4PA, to Purchase Vibroplex

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Does there always have to be someone who finds a cloud in a silver lining?

With all due respect... the fact remains that Vibroplex was for sale...
again.  The company has changed hands -- and moved -- several times.  It is
quite unfortunate, but it is a fact of life.

The good news is that the company is not moving off shore.
It is not being absorbed into another firm and remaining only as a brand
name (Butternut).
It is not folding up shop and going out of business altogether.
And as much as we joke about it, it's not moving to and merging into a
certain accessory company located in 5 land.

Yes, it is unfortunate that the Alabama location is losing the firm and the
jobs.  But on balance, if Scott hadn't bought the firm, in today's economy,
the odds are that they would have gone anyway, one way or the other.

Now... can we focus on the positive, that a good man is taking over the firm
and moving it into the future?

Now back to your regularly scheduled Ten-Tec kvetching.

Vibroplex



I hate to be a ball buster , not really. 

How many jobs will be lost  in Mobile, if any, no matter how much lead time 

and how big a severance package may have been offered to current Vibroflex
employees. 

It is a huge hassle to move, if that has been offered. 

A huger hassle to find a new manufacturing job.
