I don't know where these were manufactured.
Clearly, they didn't enter into the fray of cutting their prices to the bare minimum (whether or not their manufacturing allowed that).
There may have been no choice and they may have done it to themselves, but I still hate to see them go....
-they were a top contender and they are a sentimental favorite among many of us aficionados ; and, they were even headquartered in left coast USA-
-but this tool correction has been going on for so long
- and it has appeared to me quite darwinian-
-i just don't get the feeling they were doing what it takes to survive- which is cut costs-lower prices-increase volume-
-by increasing prices in the face of falling demand they really thumbed their noses at the market and hastened their demise IMHO...and a part of me " hates to see them go "
