ATS did have spindles some weeks ago,most of those were shipped to fill older backorders when the decision was made to ship them without hub/bearing packs. I just got off the phone with Tyler. It`s the first we`ve been able to get a hold of him for weeks. They`ve been having a lot of problems but things are (just) starting to come together. Their phone system was screwed up for a couple weeks where they were able to call out but couldn`t recieve incoming. That`s cool now. Tyler is shipping 9 of our backorders right now and will be sending us tracking info,which we`ll forward to our clients. The major backup has been a fried motherboard in the Mazak 7 axis machining center that machines the spindle forgings. Apparently they seldom go bad and they`re having a hard time getting one quickly. Once that`s fixed they should only be about 2 weeks until they can start filling the rest of their backorders. Tyler`s going through a tough transition right now but I think he and ATS will come out of it leaner and meaner. Mark SC&C
