There are a number of threads on this subject out there. My information is that there are a couple of dealers who still can "build" one. But that being said I think the short answer would be no. I stand to be corrected and invite others opinions.
I tried contacting Mike Cass by email but never heard anything back from him. My email probably ended up in his junk file and he never saw it. |

As far a formal production under the EMMONS factory name at the Emmons factory in Burlington NC, NO.
The manufacturing building is now a Heating and Air company. I have heard that some of the dealers or repair folks are still in regular contact with Ron Jr for
factory "parts".
I hope Ron Jr can come up with a plan to bring back factory production. He is sitting on a premium product and design which is most respected. He only needs to get the business side worked out, he HAS the product and the badge.

As was referenced in the thread quoted, you can still get a new one, even a new push-pull, but Lashley will have little to do with it.
