Shamrock

[NJRobert]

I was wondering if anyone has any more updates as to whether or not the 28TE will "live on", within the Shamrock lineup?

I think that it's a reasonable assumption. The Shamrock people would not have spent good money on molds and the name without plans to build. If you search the other threads on this topic you will see that their stated plan is to move the molds to their current operation in North Carolina and pick up production there. That being said, there was still no firm report of a closing just yet. I'm sure if they are dealing with Fred it's not an uncomplicated transaction. I would be surprised if they did not miss a full year of production before all is said and done. It's not like they are buying a company that is in operation....
The current financial situation is probably not helping any either. It took me 3 months to arrange financing on a condo I just bought next door with 50% down and a credit score over 800. Getting any kind of commercial funding right now must be god-awful.
