Will the monoblocks be replaced?

[Alonzo]

Doc,
Have you considered just being the "design" portion of BH?  You design and build a prototype and sell us the design and BOM?  Cuts out the inventory, storage and shipping but still advances the changes and improvements you see to your product line.  Since you do such a good job on the manuals, if you provide it with the prereq pictures, you can charge an appropriate amount to support your product.

I appreciate the idea, Alonzo. We're focusing on winding back our work lives these days with an eye on retirement. Probably the best outcome for everyone would be if someone wanted to step in and buy Bottlehead. It's pretty much a turn-key operation with a large and loyal customer base, well developed supplier relationships and a steady profit margin. The only downside is that I am getting old! With some fresh, enthused management Bottlehead could put out a lot of product ideas that we have developed but lack the energy to deliver at the pace we used to.

Perhaps PB. could fit the bill.

Perhaps PB. could fit the bill.

This is something I have certainly considered, and I have also discussed some possible partnerships to avoid having to take on substantial debt.  We shall see what shakes out...

Well I wish all at Bottlehead the best in the future. It would be a shame to see Bottlehead go to some entity that has not been involved in the past and lose the continuity of your ethos. PB has the skill and PJ has invaluable knowledge that took decades to acquire. Just one old man's opinion.
Regards, Lee
