Wow, I thought I read they might get bought out and return to business. Too bad. Feel sorry for the folks who lost their jobs.

That sucks. I only hope that others do not share the same fate. I was in parts for about 8 years and was always surprised at how even when times got tough, people were still passionate about their race cars and hotrods. I've owned several crane products over the years, from a triumph GT6 ignition, big block pontiac cams and electronic, and a crane/vinci tuner. Sorry to see them go.

Does anyone know if this auction is open for individuals?

Where does the Mikronite process fall with all this?

I think that is subcontracted to a chemical plant. I had Dif gears done by VINCI, gears were not Crane.
Speaking of VINCI, I wonder what is he going to do about cams, Comp or Cammotion? He was heavy into Crane stuff.
