    Bad news.

    Tried to order more of the Pancon feed through connectors last week. Kept getting 'no bid' emails for prices.

    Today -- received a letter (dated October 1st) as to why.
    These two lines pretty much provide a summation of the letter.

    • All Pancon operations will be shut down in 60 days.
    • No new orders will be accepted, and no last time buys available.

    Admittedly, Stern was a big user of their connectors. Looks like they'll be looking elsewhere.

    Quoted from HighVoltage:

    The Z-connectors?! Inline splice?
    So, who else makes those? Doesn't Stern use them pretty regularly in their games?

    Yep, yep.
    And don't know of anybody else making them but haven't looked yet.

    Yesterday they showed 5000 of the MWWS-1624's in stock. Today you can no longer get to their inventory page.
    If Stern was thinking ahead (and if they knew about this) - I'm sure they would have sucked up all the remaining stock of these.
