The word on the street is Gayle Van Syckle had a major health event a few months back (she, joined the company 1 month after operation & later inherited the company after long time friend & founding member, Ken suffered a heart attack years ago) & decision has been made to close the company.
August 11, 2017: "After 39 years, Nitty Gritty Inc, has closed it's doors. KAB hopes to be able to continue supporting the existing machines with some parts and accessories. More to follow." KABUSA dot com. Best Sir & wishing Gayle the best & prayers. Bob
