Great Plains Acoustics ? To be or NOT to be ?

[just me now]

I talked with Bill this week and asked him about GPA - he said "it's dead" and "it's not coming back". He also confirmed that the owner of it died and that the equipment and tooling is somewhere "in Mexico and you'll never be able to get it back". I have a friend who wants to buy the tooling, but who do you talk to?

thanks for the status - super sad times....

We all knew this was the case, but still sad to see it confirmed. Hope your friend has sufficient interest and drive to acquire the tooling and equipment. Where there is a will there is a way

I would imagine whoever the new owner was close with in his business colleagues . But going to Mexico and actually finding it and bringing it back is going to be an issue. I wish Bill would have actually told everyone that GPA was up For Sale and kept it in the USA. I feel like after being a GPA customer for so many years kind of felt let down by these developments.. Kind of makes me angry ! The person to ask maybe the people taking care of his estate (Executor) his lawyer maybe..

I wish there was a way to find someone down there in Mexico that knows where the equipment - or at least the dies for the diaphragms - is/are and who could authorize their sale (accompanied by an appropriate "finders fee", of course). I don't know how to proceed, but if I could make those connections, I know a guy in the States that is willing to invest in order to get them back into the USA and start production again.
