Hell, even Eimac is pretty much gone.
The last time I saw some of those big jugs was last October, while
visiting a friend (somewhat older than I am, in his late sixties or
early seventies), and who knew them well. He had an assortment of
them around, and was talking to me about a bunch of them being
destined for some sort of a display exhibit...
When I see the Eimac brand, I still think of Jo Jennings. (and *not*
the Olympic high jumper by the same name).
