Hopefully some local club members could step up to the plate and help young Sam get Engman parts back up and running? Plus give him a quick 914 tutorial. It most likely would be a great source of much needed part-time income for him and the family. Something he should be able to handle as he continues his studies. Totally agree...given the demand for Engman products it seems like someone just needs to help Sam do an inventory of the parts he has on hand and post what is available for starters. He gets orders, ships them..repeat...! I think Mark even standardized a set of USPS boxes for easy shipping (typical engineering guy... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )Then hopefully figure out a way to get the production line going again for a more permanent revenue stream for his family... Appreciate the alternatives out there but as long as we're not bothering Mark's family I want REAL Engman parts! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |

So very sorry to hear this. I only had the pleasure to speak with Mark a couple of times. He will be sadly missed.
If you need any help with the parts or anything I am in Louisville and would be honered to help. David |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) Sam has a great opportunity to continue a business that is already established and has eager customers. If managed properly, Sam can use the profits to pay for college and step into a ongoing business once he graduates. Few have such an opportunity...I hope it is recognized.
