Alan,
I agree, Quaife has said that they have parts, definitely a plus for owners.
Technically, they are not making them. Though Quaife is offering to do so if the demand presents itself. Not exactly a guarantee, but it does offer hope.
I think that the reality of the situation is that with RBT cranking them out in a reasonable volume, the added cost and probable extended delay of having additional ZFQs manufactured makes that an unlikely proposition.
True enough about parts. I myself never heard that Quaife "wouldn't" supply parts, but nearly everybody that I had spoken to was concerned about owning an "orphaned" unit, and the possibility of not being able to find parts.
Nothing against the ZFQ, it was originally my first choice. But, apparently like others, I was spooked away and went with the RBT.
