Hmmm...ok, well there ya go. Thanks for digging up that old thread.

The only thing I’d wonder about would be the Damon ‘shutdown’ of Centuri. Centuri issued two more catalogs after the 1981 catalog and had new products in each of those two successive catalogs (1982 and 1983). So, not sure exactly how that matches up with a ‘shutdown’, but there was no doubt that by 82-83 Centuri was certainly not on par with where it had been before.

Possibly Damon just saw the Tomahawk as a product too costly to undertake (maybe?) knowing even then that Centuri’s role was going down and maybe even then they saw they would not continue it as a separate line that much longer.
