Crane Cams
http://cranecams.com/
It appears they may be back in business. I just saw this on another site. I remember all the hub bub online when they closed.

I have a Crane Z Cam in my LS. I researched it and not many people run them but the few I've talked to were real happy with it. Weren't they a subsidiary of a NJ company Mikronite Systems or something?

I know when they went under somebody bought all their inventory and tooling. Not sure if this is the new company using the name or if Crane is starting up again on their own.
