Johns top sockets

Contrary to what I've heard, John's Enterprises is still making top sockets. I just got off the phone with him.

If you mean John Boorinakis, I can vouch for the excellent quality of the product.

I haven't talked with John B for awhile now. I did talk with him for awhile almost two years ago, and he was doing okay at that point. But he had had some sort of health issues before that, and was doing better when I spoke with him then. I again spoke with him last year, and again he was still doing well, and was adamant that he was still in the top socket business!
I am pleased to hear that he is still doing the work he always seemed to enjoy and that our hobby needs!
