Mares bought out Dacor.

Mares supplies replacement parts for all current DACOR equipment.
When Mares (actually their parent company Head Sports) bought DACOR, several years ago, DACOR was near bankruptcy and most of DACOR's parts suppliers were no longer making parts - so when Mares bought them, they only obtained the parts that were in DACOR's inventory and were unable to continue to supply parts for older DACOR equipment.
You will find lots of folks that bash Mares because they could not support old DACOR products. ACtually Mare/DACOR did what they could to make it up to those that owned older DACOR regs by offering a trade-in program for current Mares/DACOR equipment.
Mares fully supports current DACOR equipment - it has sort of become the low end of the Mares line - but still good euipment.
From reading what the Mares reps that frequent this board say and from several discussions I have had with them, it does not appear that Mares has any intention of discontinuing the DACOR line.

They did a great thing with this. It seems that dacor will be around for a while. Mares may rename the linup, but keeping a low-end product that is still good is a great business strategy.
I'm so freaking mad at Ford I can't stand it. I tried to get parts for my Stanley Steamer and they discontinued making the part I needed.TN Traveler:
Companies can only support older stuff for so long. So if someone is getting upset about parts for an antique, upgrade or make the parts yourself.
