"Problems started to arise a few years after the company went public in December 1983, which was a "bad idea," said Greg Blair, president of Escort Inc., another spinoff company, and former CMI vice president of operations.

In that initial public offering, CMI sold nearly 1.9 million shares at $7.62 per share, drumming up $13 million in cash. Most of that went to pay off debt in the form of a loan used to buy out shares owned by Mike Valentine, according to the company's 1985 annual report. Valentine and his father had founded the firm in 1976."

"Valentine sold his stock for $24 million to Jaeger in 1983. He now owns Valentine Research Inc. in Blue Ash and makes radar detectors. Valentine, through a spokesman, declined to comment for this story. "

actually Mike V. has had his tech dept. put the insides of an escort 8500 x-50 into the v-1 he uses so that no one will ever know... :wink: 8)

He probably doesn't even use a V1 at all. He uses 2 Blinder M40 laser jammers and 2 Scorpion Ka radar jammers and jams everything around him on the interstates and pisses off radar detectors users in the process.

aaaaaaah the Blinder what an AWESOME product it is. The Blinder is worth every dime

You may not be to far from the truth. Someone posed a question on his website about why he doesn't sell radar jammers but they never asked him if his tech staff ever built him a prototype for his own personal use... :wink: 8)
