NEWS & UPDATES EVENTS FEBRUARY 3, 2008 -- "THE BIG RIP-OFF" You probably heard about it...on February 3, in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in a "guarded" parking lot, Thieves broke into the Queen overnight and stole an estimated $200,000.00 + of equipment, including transmitters, encoders, receivers, switching equipment, and even the control head for our production switcher! (they left the rest of it in the rack???) Anyway, after the shock and confusion, we turned the Queen over to the unbelieveable talents at WOLF COACH, now located in Ayer, Massacheusetts, for a complete overhaul. The end result is nothing short of amazing, and a real testimonial to the skill and craftmanship Wolf brings to every project they undertake. They literally took a wounded old bird and make her a proud eagle once again. From the brand new HDTV upgrade to the cool Wolf logo rug on the floor, The Queen is back on the road and adding to an already proud reputation. Our thanks and  best wishes to all at Wolf, especially Tom Jennings, Adam Mitchell, and Pete Deary, for their concern and friendship during a very trying period in our history. We won't let you down.
