LF Gear Websites which appear to be out of business...Rant

[Tin Can]

Ok. Alan Brubaker has lot's of nice products, but I am not in the market right now, so I don't want to call or email someone if I don't plan to buy immediately. I think that is rude.

I love to 'window' shop, always have, since I was a child I make lists of what I 'need', want, use, desire, admire, whatever. Pinterest is the modern version with images. i use it. Future hoard?

Hence my question. Is Mr Brubaker still making and selling LF gear? The only actual dates I found on his rather good website, is 2006, in more than one place. If he removed those dates, the site would be timeless, like Peter Gowland's.

I could also ask this of S&S? I have read Sandy has no more holders for sale, other sites, say they sell S&S...new. NOS?

I also notice Peter Gowland's website only recently shut down. I wish I had downloaded Peter's entire websites. Very informative. I printed his spec sheets.

There are many more than one current producer of LF gear whose website has such few and tiny images I cannot clearly visualize their products. Which I find annoying when they are selling usable, very expensive and beautiful items.

In all fairness I will try to update my websites, but I don't sell anything...

Slightly unrelated to the rant, you can still access sites that are now inactive if they wound up being archived by https://archive.org

The snapshots go back to when he was still alive, which is slightly morbid now that I think about it.

Not near as morbid as snap shots after he was alive........
