Default Graupner Out of Business?

After a lot of looking at radios, I thought I might pick up a Graupner X-8E and noticed that they are on sale everywhere right now. Turns out the company is going under so I think support would be out the window and probably it is going to be hard to find recievers soon. Anyone have any thoughts on this? It looks like a really nice radio for the money, even comes with a hard case...ugh.

Don't buy it! You'll be sorry if you do, especially when it comes to any type of support or parts.

I can tell you that regret will set in quickly if you buy a radio from a dead brand.

It may seem like a good deal now but think a year or two down the road and then what?
