Thanks for the scoop.
I was planning on buying/installing two 89' motorized crankups in the Spring.
They will get their wish. I won't be buying their products. I like Tashjan's
products. Looking at those, now.
"Many American businesses succeed in spite of themselves." Let's hope this is
an exception. I would hate to bother US Tower by ordering something from them.

Common business tactic: it’s a business they don't care to be in and if they
ARE going to be in it they're going to be rewarded HANDSOMELY! They'll
claim extenuating circumstances like regulations and some other BS ....
they already have mucho disclaimers etc and I'm sure protection was already
well baked in ...
I recently had bevel gears, a set, that I've been buying for over a decade
in quantity go up in one year 260%! They obviously feel it’s a hassle and
not worth the effort unless they're paid ransom.

Subject: [TowerTalk] US Tower price increase
Just happened to be browsing the HRO website yesterday, and noticed that the
pricing on all US Tower models tripled overnight!
For example, the HDX-589MDPL was $13,000 last month. As of yesterday the
price is now just under $32,000! Same dramatic increase across the product
line.
Is anyone privy as to what warranted the dramatic price increase in what
seems like overnight?
I don't believe the raw materials or labor rate skyrocketed that quickly.
