No doubt we will be told what AMA paid for Ponds plans. If they were closing the doors,it may not have had much value to them.Time will tell, to me they would be priceless. At least John can rest easy. To me big business is hard to figure, like our old railroad that used to be here. They said they were going to make 6 million dollars, but they only made 4 million,so they lost 2 million.I wish AMA good luck,hope they can keep prices in line. big max 1935,aka AMA14958.
