Paging @52Megahertz! I talked to him a year or more ago when he was mulling and/or starting to just close it down. I actually talked to him about buying it myself, just because I thought it would be a pity for all of us to lose all the tools he'd created. We almost got there but there were little complications about the transfer details and he opted just to keep it going. Probably a good thing since it would have been a stretch for me to do it justice while managing carpokes and the various things I already make for people. I'm glad he found a new owner -- hopefully someone with the time and energy it deserves. Hoping he chips in here, and that the new owners becomes a friend of Carpokes!
Interesting. I see the site is still down. Kicking myself for not buying the tool a while ago.
Hopefully we will all get more info/confidence with the new ownership.
I am a little more cautious with cross border shopping when it’s an unknown situation.

I noticed that as well. The site states it would be running around 2-15-23 but it is still not operational. I have the cheesy old tool and a newer arnnworx tool that uses a dial indicator but its not as nice as the newest v6 ones. Hopefully they'll chime in here.

Reviving an old thread to see if anyone has heard any updates about Arnnworx? After a smoke test on my 951, I'm leaking through my TB o-rings. I had purchased and installed the kit on my S and the kit and instructions were a great help. From what I've seen no one else is offering that type of reseal kit and definitely no handy dandy instructions!

I was talking to him a year or two ago about buying him out -- just to keep popular stuff alive -- but there were a few administrative issues that complicated things and he opted just to keep going. I was surprised to see the site shut down too. I have an old reseal kit of his and am thinking it might be worthwhile to replicate it. None of the parts are all that hard to find, thanks to McMaster, but if you had to buy them individually the costs gets out of hand fast (especially since some come in bags of 20, etc.)... Maybe pinging him here will get his attention @52MegahertzNCGermerican wrote: Tue Feb 13, 2024 1:02 pm Reviving an old thread to see if anyone has heard any updates about Arnnworx?
