Just in from Replay Magazine:

"The top executive at Valley Dynamo told RePlay today that the pool table manufacturer's parent company, Brunswick, is reportedly considering its strategic options with regard to the coin-op billiard division. Brunswick acquired Valley Dynamo from former Dynamo founder Bill Rickett and the investment firm Fenway Partners. "This company has been sold numerous times so it shouldn't be alarming," said Valley Dynamo president Dave Tomizuka. "Brunswick is looking at strategic options and one of those options is the sale of the company." Tomizuka declined to go into additional detail, except to say Valley Dynamo is dealing with all the same challenges that other industry firms face including recession, smoking bans and tavern closures. "It's been a tough year for everybody in our industry," he said. "The good news is that pool table are steady, consistent earners. This is a staple product. People will always need a pool table."
