Thank you for your welcome.

We wanted to buy all the hand winding machines and a couple of the old normal winding machines to start winding our own but they wouldnt let us.
They ended up in a skip.

Transformers like 3575, 3705, 9575, 9063 etc(first page on the website).and the neve types that great river/stam audio have, I know of the top of my head but the designs have been sold to carnhill as part of our redundancy/payoff theres probably a clause to stop me winding them
My british to American is weak but I imagine a skip is a large rubbish bin?
Sad to hear that happened.
I have seen similar fates with equipment at large places all over Los Angeles.
Imagine a large film studio just tossing out a large analog desk because they were getting rid of it.
Late to comment but for that stuff I wouldn’t be above diving in when no one is looking and taking it away.
Sorry to hear that after the years you put in they treated you as such.
But keep your chin up. You have the know how, perhaps in time you can cobble together your own winding machines while using the current position to keep the lights on.
 
Lundahl, i'm worried they will finish like some other transformer manufacturers. In my culture CEO means troubles!
Ahh, thanks. I found this on LinkedIn:

I wouldn't necessarily worry too much - someone in-the-know recently told me that he has complete confidence in both Helena and the future plans for the company..
