Anyone else seeing an issue with companies going "China" on us?

I agree and see where you are coming from...but what sparked this wasn't ever a quality issue in this case. Its an issue rather of a part that we came to rely on and use religiously (for the most part this group as a whole) that is now simply NOT available. Why? One simple piece of the puzzle, and I guess we the public didnt buy enough for them to be bothered to try and make it here..... seems weird, as the products price has gone up in the last 10 years by 75%, so you know the profit margin is there.....

Now we are stuck with not great solutions..... or stock.

In this one case, I feel if there is never going to be a replacement at all, and we know what 95% of the pieces are, just make the last bit public knowledge and leave it up to us. If your going to let it die, share it?
