RIP Fresco ?

[Raven]

The rumor mill has been grinding for months, so I was in their hood today and stopped by to find the doors locked at 10:00am. Called the owner with no answer. It doesn't look good. I for one am sorry to say goodbye.

 

[Tom Dunlap]

Me too

Same experience 2 weeks ago, locked doors and no answer. Sounds like the new owner had some problems with getting bills payed....

 

[John_Hartenburg]

Hmmm. I used to get Harrison Rocket thowbags from them....anyone know who has those in stock?

 

[GregManning]

A couple years ago I bought an 8 oz Harrison from the following company (~ 3 miles from this years ITCC):

Alexander Equip. Co. (Arborist Equip.)
4728 Yender Ave.
Lisle, IL 60532
(630) 663-1400

Ciao for Now ! Greg

Fresco went downhill ever since Terry and Kathy sold it a few years back. Too bad.

And fell off the cliff when Rob left.

I am making a video over labor day weekend and it'll include where to get the harrison rocket. Stay tuned!!!

(have you seen the new ballistic harrison rocket?)

On topic: I just called them I think last week and a lady named CeCe told me she was sure they shut down.

Darn. I liked buying from fresco.

Anyone know where I can get red petzl ball lock biners?

love

Geee. Never saw that coming.

Their website sucked for years and they had no catalog. How was anyone supposed to order from them?

How many you need? They have minimum qty order. I think 3K per color. maybe a bunch of us TB can get together and pitch in. Im good for 50-100......

Wheres Tobe when we need him?

 

[bstewert]

I have 5, 8, 10, 12oz. You can PM me if interested.

Here's another pix. The all-red one is made with ballistic material. The all-yellow one was made special for me by Ali Harrison. It's easy to see in the trees and groundcover. I've used it since Christmas, even over pavement.

Come on Russ! What kind of man would willingly prance around sporting purple and gold?

Nick, I have a red HMS ball lock with a cracked locking mechanism. It's yours for the right price...
