What's up with Rotochok?

It's *NOT* a "sign of the times"..:S

As others have stated, both Pearl and her husband passed away.
It was a "Mom and Pop" operation - no idea if there were any employees, as you would always talk to Pearl if you called.
.....Which was *always* a genuine pleasure!

Apparently "a relative" took over the business.
Since "we" don't know the volume (or lack of it), unfortunately, he/they may not have the time (other job?) or dedication to run it.

IIRC Rotos were briefly advertised in the "Geno's" -Dodge parts catalogs- (after the owner's passings) - but not in the current issue. (Effort to increase sales?)

*If* the patent/s (or?) have been sold, hopefully the new(?) owners
will get production going again.

Same here- bought after Pearle passed and about the same timeframe ago.

Is Rotochok still around?

Lee,

If you get the chance I'd really appreciate it if you could make contact with an actual person! I need one ML chock. The quality of these gadgets is/was amazing...hopefully someone is continuing to fill the need!

I don't know who might have taken over the business.... Pearl passed away a couple years ago. I used to go to the "factory" 3 or 4 times a year to get product for friends here on the web. Guess I'll have to head over there again and see what I can find out. It's about 15 miles from my home in Dover, DE.

Since Pearl pass away the company is not the same. Very much different.

Sorry to hear this...I have had stellar service from this cottage (ma and pa) outfit.
Haven't talked to them in some time..hope all is well.
