Yup, we've discussed this in length here on the forums. The news broke some 3 months ago and it was the talk of the town for a while. You're right, another good company gone belly up.

Funny thing... Their website is still up and makes no mention of their current business status.

Yep...and people keep buying those foreign products, pretty soon you won't be able to buy an American TT's.
People think it's a joke until it hits home.
Another US company, with good products/service gone to the wayside...
too bad.

Actually the news broke at the beginning of November last year. The liguidation auction was about a month ago.

The reason the website is still up and running is that the intellectual property is still for sale. They have a classified ad on ebay. Cost $600K for all. The auction in April was of all the physical stuff at the plant. The building has a for sale sign out front.

It was a great company with great service BUT lousy investment group as management!
Anyway - any sunline owners who do not know - there is a Sunline Forum with a great group of knowledgeable people.
You may want to ask your question over there.
