Most of the SoCal cognoscenti know where much of the Suntour goodies went :^) Purchased at a Good Will or SVdP (?) daily auction for pennies on the dollar. Suntour folded up shop and somehow pallets of the good stuff ended up locally in San Diego as a 'charitable donation' .... Bought by a shop owner who slowly metered it out then found ebay ......fairly priced even there and then and by now it's long gone to the 4 winds.
