just called norma to order some parts.  so the drill is that you give her a call and get the prices.  then she will give you a total and you have to send a check.  once the check clears, they will send the parts.  the mailing address is ......

yeah, things look bad, but it's hard to know what is rumor and what is fact.  i just hope they survive in some way.

My brother lives in Santa Clarita and we drove out to Valley Manufacturing this past Monday 11/14/2011.  We arrived at 2:30 pm and the parking lot and office building was closed.  :-\

So as of now Newell is no more?  I was thinking about buy a couple used newels and putting Tiburon frames on them, but I don't want to buy a real with no parts available...

not sure what to say.  everyone talks about newell coming back, but is probably just wishful thinking.   :-\

I just got around to doing some work on the 2 Newells that I have, only to find out that I might be needing some parts.  The old bearings don't seem to want to come out!
