Iā€™m very happy with my CPC set. This makes a lot of sense after his previous post asking for more orders.

Also, whatā€™s the appeal of the Ewing mold? Doesnā€™t interest me at all.

I decided to get a shuffle stack of the Ewing and DSQ molds. I like the Ewing mold a LOT more than I thought I would. The DSQs are slick by comparison.

I'm Considering Buying CPC - Advise Me, Roast Me, Counsel Me

Hello all, I'm Gus and this is my first post and it's a long shot, but I'm considering buying CPC. I am posting here to hear from the community which has been so well served by David & David at CPC over the years. This is a call for honest feedback, and I intend to reply to anyone posting in...

Good response to "Gus" @kcking22

I don't see a post over there by kcking22 (unless he has a different user name over there?). I'd like to see that response.

I'm not an expert but I've followed the situation at ASM/CPC going back to Jim Blanchard. From what I've read, it seems the process currently in use cannot be modified to satisfy the requests of those posting a response to "Gus".
More stock lines, quicker turnaround, more of this, more of that, doesn't seem at all possible. To accomplish that would need more machines and more employees, both of which would increase the price of an already overpriced product.
As a chip-a-holic, I think it's admirable that someone would want to keep a dying art alive. But to anyone wanting to engage in that endeavor, I'd say proceed with caution. Do you really want to invest in a business only for it to be a "break even" proposition? I've considered CPC sets in the past, but never bought one due to the price (and I hate the brass dust that shows on the edges). Of course Mr. Spragg is someone who loves chips but if the business were profitable or otherwise "successful" would he be selling it? Maybe he has a personal situation that behooves him to break away from it? I don't know. I don't want to be the naysayer but it seems risky. Apparently, Paulson can crank out chips faster and in higher volume. As I mentioned, the process used at CPC doesn't seem to accommodate that. Back again to more machines, more employees, more investment = higher price of the end product.
One final note: "Gus" mentioned his shuffle stack that he's had on his desk for years. I wonder if ANY of those chips were produced from ASM/CPC?

Anyone that is actually going to buy out CPC and lead it to thrive (much less just simply stay in business), isn't going to be the non-chipping person reaching out to chippers asking for advice. I waste too much time on PCF and even I knew me writing anything helpful was even more of a waste of time.

GL to "Gus". I hope they succeed. I'll take the under at 10:1 odds.

I can't believe Gus didn't buy it.
