I think George Alexandrovich (sp?) is still around, but is also getting up there in years.
If your buddy is set on acquiring one (and I'd stick with a Neumann), try to get in touch with Mr. Gold.
Also, it probably couldn't hurt to throw up a WTB post on Lathetrolls, Gearslutz, and maybe Steve Hoffman's site as well.
Oh, and call Jeremy. Something tells me he may have an industry connection or two. 
Good luck! |
Thanks, Eric. Already having a PM conversation with Jeremy. One of my buddy's new hires is a cutter & he has been doing the deed for a while so that is covered. And yes, he knows the realistic street price for a good Neumann.
That one in Zimbawe? What could go wrong? But that is also a whole plant. Lathe, lacquer plating baths, 4 x stampers, pellet hopper etc. Probably not a bad investment for somebody but it is on the wrong continent.
