    Holy crap!  That is very sad.  I'm guessing they all lost their jobs awhile back.  I wonder if any part of Crane got bought up?  I'm sure their competition didn't mind seeing them go.  Perhaps this is what should have happened to the banks!

    They closed the doors a couple of months ago. Hope somebody can reopen them.

    I wonder if one of the other cam manufacturers will pick up some of the items, but I have to wonder if they are all in the same situation financially speaking. They sure have a lot of equipment listed

    This thought may not be politically correct, but is an opinion offered. It may be correct? or it may be wrong? It is not designed to appease those needing shelter from the real world.
