I found a huge pack of Twister brushes and commsticks in a box I had, after moving recently.
Whatever happened to that company?
I remember they made really good lathes too.
Went bankrupt? Bought out?

Go through an RCCA from 13, 10, and even 5 years ago and try and find some of the same companies in an article today. The LHS owner told me something ridiculous number for companies around in 1990 and were still around in 1994/95 when I was working there.
Put a current issue of RCCA on the shelf and wait a couple years: See how many of the 'Maxx' and 'Micro RS4/Mini-Z' companies that have sprung up in the last 2 years are still around in another 3 or 4 years. Turn-over in this hobby is big.
