The permission to view the Graves Company website under http protocol is no longer public and under https protocol shows a blank index page.
Graves Company is a fictitious name registered to Vee Enterprises, Inc. which has not existed since 22 September 2017.
I presume all assets and liabilities are now vested with Peter Erdo.
I have not found any transfer of registration of Graves Company to any other individual or entity.
What does that imply?

Looks like the site is back. Maybe a false alarm on them going under. :?

Does anyone have connections with the business owners and can find out what's going on?

The Graves website is back on line. Actually seems to work better than before, but some pages are still "Under Construction".

The website is up again. What does that mean?
Am I the only poster on this thread who read the corporate and fictitious name registrations from the website of the State of Florida Department of State Division of Corporations?
I will repeat the salient points:
Vee Enterprises, Inc. was dissolved by the state of Florida on 22 September 2017.
The fictitious name, Graves Company, is registered to the now defunct corporation, Vee Enterprises, Inc.

Would anyone reading this care to do business with him?

I can't speak to the legal status, but Graves Company has certainly been doing business after September 2017.

As the famous (in programming circles) Larry Constantine used to say, "Everything is deeply intertwingled".

Does anyone know where I can find a spanner wrench that's small enough to adjust the 5XL's micrometer?

The notches in the locking nut seem to be 1.5mm and I don't see anything online I can buy that would fit-- am I missing something?

Those spanners are generally supplied free with the micrometer spindle.
