Monroe's catalog, they're not likely to be. He has a great selection of
raw forgings available, get the finish machine work done yourself, but I
get the impression he's not developing anything not already in the
catalog. One thing we can do on the web site is create a list of vendors, and another of compatible or cross referenced parts.<br><br></div>Monroe is another important CDO resource, and we should
figure out how to preserve what he's done while we can. Monroe has a lots of molds and
other tooling to make these parts, and has a number of folks that do the
forge work and and stuff to make the parts. He's done a lot to build
this up as a one-man operation, and it would be unfortunate to lose it.
When I talked to him last year, he said he wasn't able to go to Hershey
due to mobility issues - I think he's at least 82 years old.<br><br></div>How can we best approach this as a club, to preserve and continue these parts and production capabilities? <br><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">Roger<br clear="all"><br>-- <br><div>Roger Garnett<br><a href="mailto:rwgarnett@gmail.com" target="_blank">rwgarnett@gmail.com</a></div>
