Hi Dave,

I know Kurt Andress well enough to know that he does not deal in 
unsubstantiated rumors. He is, among other things, a superb Mech Eng'r, 
and he runs a first rate biz installing antennas. That puts him in a 
position to see a lot of problems.

Things DO change in the world of manufacturing -- ask anyone who has 
dealt with a company that changes hands, or that acquires an overly 
aggressive bean counter (or purchasing agent who wants to make a good 
impression with bosses who don't know any better).

I made my living as an audio systems design consultant, and it was part 
of my responsibility to know who was making good stuff, who was 
supporting it, and who was not. In my 40 years in that world, I saw all 
of the above happen over and over again, as once great companies and 
products turned to crap.
