does this mean everything will be on clearance?

it does suck though

I heard almost a month ago that they'd all but shuttered their Daytona Beach facility, with just a couple guys pushing boxes around, doing inventory, etc.
I found out from Lamar Walden, who found out from the guys at Comp--Lamar buys his 409 cams from Comp, who gets the blanks from Crane.

I've now heard from three people the same thing..."It was just a matter of time"

Nothing comfirmed 100%, but it sounds plausible.

That would be Mikronite.

I hadn't heard anything about them going out of business before. Without more information on where this rumor came from, I'd still consider it just a rumor until more information surfaces.
