Well it's finally the time to close the chapter on the Fly-by-Night
Copper Company shims for the 557. My business license and web domain
name are coming up for renewal and I've decided it's just not cost
effective to continue - that, and I'm a little tired of: cutting and
routing aluminum; and applying and trimming the adhesive and no-skid on
each shim. In addition, Porter-Cable brought out the type 3 a while back
so the market demand for the shim has declined dramatically.
I've got 4 shims left and once they're gone this whole fly-by-night
venture will be but a memory. Drop me an email if you'd like to reserve
one while you get your order in.
I'd like to thank everyone who took the great risk of sending me a
sawbuck to try out this modification. I received many compliments and
thank-yous from you folks and I'd like to publically say thank you right
back.

Hi Owen,
Could be, it's been a long dry spell for them. I think they still live in
Athens somewhere. Congrats on selling out your total stock. Now if someone
needs one you charge three times as much for a one off piece!
Later,
Beej
Owen,
Now you've done it. I've had over two dozen hits so far today and half of
those off your web page.

Are you tracking web traffic? I've not gotten an order for a couple
months now and before that they had definitely tapered off to only one
or two a month for a spell.
I'da kept going if it wasn't for the license renewals coming up - just
not enough in-¢-ive to keep going.

Mr. Spotty Camera,
When the last one is gone the number will stand at 439 - what an odd
number... Kinda makes me want to cobble up one more just to make the
total clean.

Not a chance. They're too famous and living way over
in Channel Z (near Athens, GA.)
I have their 1979-1989 video and that sweet Kate Pierson
sure is/was a true hottie.

I've gotten 5 or 6 hits today alone. Most of them looking for plate joiners,
not 557 problems.
Your going to have to come up with another fly by night product!
