Thanks for the scoop.I was planning on buying/installing two 89' motorized crankups in the Spring. They will get their wish.  I won't be buying their products.   I like Tashjan's products.  Looking at those, now."Many American businesses succeed in spite of themselves." Let's hope this is an exception.   I would hate to bother US Tower by ordering something from them.73MikeW4AAWSent from my Verizon 4G LTE Smartphone----- Reply message -----From: "StellarCAT" <rxdesign at ssvecnet.com>To: <towertalk at contesting.com>Subject: [TowerTalk] US Tower price increaseDate: Mon, Jan 2, 2017 2:14 PMCommon business tactic: it’s a business they don't care to be in and if they ARE going to be in it they're going to be rewarded HANDSOMELY!  They'll claim extenuating circumstances like regulations and some other BS  .... they already have mucho disclaimers etc and I'm sure protection was already well baked in ...I recently had bevel gears, a set, that I've been buying for over a decade in quantity go up in one year 260%! They obviously feel it’s a hassle and not worth the effort unless they're paid ransom.GaryK9RX-----Original Message----- From: K2CBSent: Monday, January 2, 2017 12:09 PMTo: towertalk at contesting.comSubject: [TowerTalk] US Tower price increaseJust happened to be browsing the HRO website yesterday, and noticed that the pricing on all US Tower models tripled overnight!For example, the HDX-589MDPL was $13,000 last month.  As of yesterday the price is now just under $32,000!  Same dramatic increase across the product line.Is anyone privy as to what warranted the dramatic price increase in what seems like overnight?I don't believe the raw materials or labor rate skyrocketed that quickly.EricK2CB______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk______________________________________________________________________________________________TowerTalk mailing listTowerTalk at contesting.comhttp://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
