I have 2 old 40hp that need alignboring, thrust cut, balancing, etc
anybody doing crank counterweighting- I know RIMCO would counterweight the crank for you? I have 2 NOS cranks that might just be worth balancing for hte next 40hp build
thanks |
For the cranks, call either one of these guys.

I can say that the the busines was for sale as was the building. The building had sold the last that I heard. I was negotiating with the broker who they hired to try to sell the business but he stopped calling.
So,Who knows. I hope that they did sell the business and it was sold to some of the guys who worked thereand not kept in operation by the current managment. They could care less about the customers. Anyone who ever tried to bring something there during lunch time would know what I mean. |

Because that would be too easy! It's much more fun for people to start rumors, like the past ones of CNC, and Engle going out of business. And, NO, CNC, and Engle ARE NOT going out of business. |

I called them from Wisconsin today on there 800 # and she said they have no plans to close and are excepting work--800 #s are one of the first things to go on a closing business.
I have never had a problem with them and I have always been treated great so I will send them stuff until it stops coming back or work gets done incorrectly.
I don't care were they do it--businesses get moved all the time !

Yeah, I find it hard to believe that with all that knowledge and expertise that someone from the shop wouldn't start up their own shop somewhere else |

As far as I know they are still producing! I think if Rimco OFFICIALLY went out of Business!!,--- This 39 year old Iconic establishment would be pretty hard pressed not to keep it Hush hush. Eric  |
