And only a dozen of those new Parkers have been built and only about half of them actually sold.

I with someone would get that machine going again or come up with another way to re-matte Parker ribs. That would be an invaluable thing these days.

Our best hope at this point is John Hosford, who is currently able to matte Fox ribs. He can matte any rib really, but it would look like a fox pattern. I am hoping thag he adjusts his operation some in the future to allow for other makers to be done.

Besides, if you want to be 100% correct about things, a CNC matted rib woild just not have the right look. But i guess beggers cant be choosers. But now i am off topic, talking about rib matting and all.
