Amen! I read about this in the company's e-mail newsletter. I've always been impressed with Bluejacket's products and service. (I'm a particular fan of Bluejacket britannia metal blocks and deadeyes, which in my opinion are the most scale-looking on the market.) I do hope a good buyer shows up - one who understands scale modeling and knows how to run a business at a profit. (No profit, no Bluejacket.)
The one thing I can say with assurance is that the buyer won't be me. I can't afford it, I have no business sense whatever, and those Maine winters....Besides, I've reached the "step back, smell the roses, and build models" point myself. But good luck to the new proprietor.
Youth, talent, hard work, and enthusiasm are no match for old age and treachery.
