Just got his reply from Bracke: Dear Chuck,
Mr. Pasternack sold Pasternack Enterprises over a decade ago. Went into early retirement. He started missing the business as his children have grown. He then started up Bracke Manufacturing. Coincidentally I worked for him at Pasternack Enterprises many years ago. He found me and brought me aboard this fine new establishment! Are there any parts or cable assemblies you may be interesting in purchasing from us? You will find our prices are 20-30% lower than P.E.’s. And, the quality of our parts is top notch! If you would like to speak to Mr. Pasternack personally, he will be in the office this Wednesday. We hope to hear from you soon and do look forward to introducing ourselves and our company to you.

Google maps says it is a 9 minute drive from Pasternak to Bracke. I assume that is not counting traffic... bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 1/18/2016 2:00 PM, Chuck McCown wrote: A few months back, there was a discussion about sources for RF connectors.� I think perhaps Ken or Bill mentioned Pasternak.� I knew there was another similar company out there, perhaps a knock off or spin off of Pasternak.� � Today I received a catalog from them.� Bracke.� Catalog looks exactly like the Pasternak catalog.� � Bracke is in Newport Beach, CA.
