Core Power Technologies


Does anyone know, is Core Power Technologies still around? I was considering purchasing (2) Ec1200’s but don’t want to be in a holding pattern for the next year. Are they or (Mark) still in existence? What’s the lowdown or suggestion of comparable item.

From my perspective as one having been adversely affected by such dealers and manufacturers like that presented by CPT, one usually gets a radio silence response. I’m confused as to why CPT continues to stoke to flames with illusory promises of a potential buyer.

When there is a bonafide offer or interest by a third party to acquire a company’s assets, including IP, one doesn’t hear a word about the ongoing transaction behind the scenes until after the deal is done. In fact, from my dealings in doing due diligence of such acquisitions, the parties are usually bound by a confidentiality agreement that bars the parties from even discussing the most superficial aspects of the review. The reasons stem from concerns of not negotiating in good faith if such disclosures were made. All of this leads me to believe that as well-intended the above posts are about a prospective buyer, it’s not credible.
@amg56 I wish you well in health.  

There is a new audiogon member pajjohnson who claims to possess brand new NOS units of some CPT products obtained from Mark. The listing was posted within a couple hours of the klh007 post above. Since that post doesn’t identify who would be listing CPT products, it’s unclear whether the listing is related to what Mark offered for sale in his posting via khl007. 
@amg56:

This business is a cottage industry. Small outfits grow too quickly (real or illusory) and collapse when they can’t deliver. 

The unfortunate fact is the loss of faith and funds by forthright consumers like yourself. Hold you head high for being a good, forgiving person.

I googled RMAF as a disease and came up dry. The closest disease appears to be RMSF (Rockey Mountain Spotted Fever, caused by a tick, and can result in serious complications including death if left untreated. 

@klh007 

This last post includes a not-so-veiled threat from Mark regarding using his lawyer to harrass folks who complain about him. Seems to me you should not be relaying such content to this community when Mark himself refuses do so. This community is moderated. Mark should address his concerns to them rather than here if he feels posts are unkind to him or otherwise false. 
Folks: Mark of CPT posted a response on the other CPT thread in the Cables forum the other day. Just an FYI in case you’re only following this thread. 
@gdnrbob. Do a search on “core power technologies” in the main A’gon site.
@amg56. Trust your instincts. Mark and his minions are monitoring this thread 24/7. I doubt there is any follow-on entity. Scam. 
No properly designed power conditioner should hum. That one hums in response to a curling iron being used merely indicates faulty design or a manufacturing defect.
@twoleftears I recall Mark selling off some B stock 1800’s having newly installed transformers. So there could be some truth to the transformer QC. 
Just a reminder to those who might have forgotten about the other forum thread in the Cables forum:
