Hi Moe,
This was sad news for me to read, and it must have been ahard decision to make for you. It certainly has been a tough year for ourhobby, I’m sure there is nothing but understanding and well wishes forthe “Stooges”. I would like to add mine as well.
That being said, as I read your email my heart sank anotch or two. I had promised myself (and gotten agreement from my wife!)that this was going to a banner year for expanding my modular. StoogeIndustries products was going to be a big part of that. When I read theemail, I immediately put in an order for a bunch of flat rails to make sure Iwas covered for my cabinet project (hope there is enough stock remaining).
I was wondering if anyone has contacted you off list todiscuss picking up the standard. In my opinion, it would be a shame tosee these services fade away. While I haven’t invested any realmoney yet, I have recently looked seriously into some screen printing gear (Ihad a lot of experience with it in high school and college), and was thinkingabout setting myself up for my own custom panel needs. Now it seems theremay be some room to expand that idea. I do also have access to a fullmachine shop, owned by my Dad’s next door neighbor, for which I also docomputer support for. So I have access to some machinery and raw materialstock. The only trick for me would be the paint, but in the NJ area thatmay not be too much of a problem.
I’m just brainstorming a bit at this point, but Imight be interested in making a run at this, should all the planets line upproperly. It would likely start very small, just like you and Larry didoriginally. If anyone else has expressed interest, please feel free topass on my email address to them. I would certainly be interested in atleast chatting about it.
Thanks and best regards,
Phil Peery

Stooge Industries is closing its (figurative) doors.
Given the well known troubles we have faced recently, and my decision
to simplify my life for awhile, this seems like the best solution.
We will sell the current inventory of brackets, flat rails, and patch
cables from the website. Once those are gone, that's it!
Please order what you need from http://www.stoogein dustries. com
Thanks to everyone who has ever been a customer, or just sent
encouraging words to us.
Moe
