I talked with our remaining parts suppliers at Oley.  Just wanted to pass this along FYI.

Randy Walker is still in business selling the parts he manufactures.  His website (Walkermachine.com) is up and running.  Understand that he and Joanie are busy running a farm as well.  They may be a bit hard to get ahold of, but they're still in business and we're lucky to have them as a source of supply.

Steve Rinker and his son Justin purchased Kent's stock of old and new (Walker) parts.  They will be travelling to selected swap meets and will be selling new parts as well as vintage parts.  I got the impression that Steve is not real interested in doing mail order of low volume of new parts.  If you need one of something new, I'd contact the Walkers first.  However, if you need Steve to bring something to a swap meet, give him a call.  Likewise, if you're looking for vintage / OEM parts, call Steve.  His business card is attached.

No guarantees from me that you'll have a good experience with either, just passing on some info for what it's worth.
