Just thought I'd add something to this thread. I was in Dayton a week or so ago & the place is fairly empty. They have moved the manufacturing & service departments to Fondulac, WI where G&L is headquartered. The building in Dayton is for sale. All that will remain in Dayton is Engineering & Training & they will move to a new building in the near term. Other than that it appears to be business as usual. The Discovery machines have been built in Fondulac since their inception, so I think it's more a matter of centralizing the manufacturing operations & cost-cutting than a sign of hard times per se.
