Sad news
Hello fellow engravers,
Today I was ordering some stuff from GRS, few books etc. and their sales rep told me a shocking news. Well, at least it was shocking (and news!) to me. I guess this has been in the making for a while... They said that real soon now they'll be "merging" Lindsay engraver business with theirs.
Sometime during Q2 or Q3 of 2009 we can buy Lindsay Classic as GRS Classic, his super brilliant sharpening system as GRS sharpener set. All manufacturing will move to GRS facilities. She wasn't talking too much, but as I understood, then PalmControl units will still be made by Steve.
One good news to engravers is, that the price will drop considerably, as GRS Classic units will be produced en masse. Nothing exact is known, as he said, but price drop of around $500 USD could be realistic.
Steve, could this really be happening? Back to monopoly?
