Hi gang, I hope this doesn't violate Forum rules, but I feel a need to explain something that you all may have noticed.
You may have noticed a jump in my postings in the "Equipment For Sale" forum. You may have also noticed the down tone of my posts of late.
Well, after 29 years in this industry, and in light of current events and the state of my health, I have made the very difficult decision to close down my business. The stress of trying to keep things rolling and constantly worrying about where my next rent payment is coming from, combined with the usual problem of slow or no-pay theatre owners has taken its toll. (I am about out someone in the Deadbeats thread if they don't pay up soon.)
I am, for the time being, hanging on to my test equipment as I still have a very few loyal clients who I will continue to take care of, but I am seeking employment outside of this industry to find something more stable. If things work out I may accept a position with a company within this industry if the right opportunity becomes available.
I have extensive stock of gears, bearings, rollers and misc. parts that I will be getting rid of as well.
This was not a decision I made without a lot of sleepless nights and much thought.
I do want to thank everyone here for all the support and kind words during my time here. I will most likely still be around here to keep up with you guys.
I especially want to thank Brad for providing this excellent forum for all of us to enjoy.
I also hope that, in this case, I am alone in dealing with this as I wouldn't wish my situation on anybody.
