Wayback Machine has nothing cached and their Facebook page hasn't been updated since 2012 so I guess they are out of business.

What are you looking for? I used to use a Beattie screen which was very good. They tend to still turn up on ebay but I can't find any Maxwell screens.

just curious really. well, thinking when we have to incomes in the family then maybe I'd like to send my Bronica to a serious CLA and bright and snappy screen to go with it.

I've bought Beattie screens second hand in the past.  Well worth it when you sometimes get three stops of light above the original.  I have one on my 1934 Rolleiflex.
