It is apparently impossible to get Wisner on the phone and there is a strange announcement on his website:
Notice: No new orders will be accepted until Sept.1st, 05. This decision has resulted in some speculation about the company, so we have decided to explain here. We elected not to accept new orders starting in May pending the fulfillment of all old orders. This decision has resulted in some disappointed customers who did not mind the long waiting lists. Nevertheless, our decision is to clear the orders and start fresh.
This will not effect warranty support, and we will continue to supply basic accessories like lens boards, but no other orders will be accepted.
We have also decided to move the company to a new site across town. The new building will provide efficiency for a smaller scale operation based around custom orders and a simplified product line. In the mean time, we have moved to temporary space in Marion, so call before you ship any warranty repairs.
Workshops will continue and have been expanded
Finally, all posted prices on this website are subject to change without notice. Most of them will go up before we accept new orders. Please take that into account in your planning.
As a business professional, this sounds like a business in trouble. Perhaps he should have maintained his relationship with Fred Picker who obviously cashed out at the right time.
