Morning all,
My understanding is that the business is still family owned. The old bloke died last year and the son now runs the place.
A little while back Jack you posted a link to a judgement in relation to copyright of the drive system. In there it is suggest the company sold itself to itself in a bit creative tax accounting but the reality is it never really changed hands.
Re: parts availability. Poor Greenfield has never made a cent out of me from parts (except blades and belts sometimes). The reason being that almost everything on them is either fabricated (and so can be repaired or replaced from stock steel) or is available from an engineering supplier as in the case of the tie rod end above. I should qualify that by saying that I have only really dealt with pre-1990 machines. Their 'simple Simon' design philosophy slipped slightly with later models - but only slightly
