So, this may have been covered but I could not find anything specific. In my search for finding the best system for removing the top for myself I keep going back to post that show the Racor with the Topsy parts. However, It seems that the Racor Lifting system has been all but discontinued....or am I wrong?

I have one installed in my garage. Bought it off of someone from Craig's list locally that had never opened the box

They pop up occasionally on amazon and elsewhere just have to keep an eye out for them. Maybe try called Topsy products and see if they have a line on some.

I have one and it’s the best top removal system I’ve had. I use it to store bag chairs and stuff during the winter.

I bought my Racor in May 2019 from Amazon for $225. There are now 3 sellers selling new ones on Amazon and the cheapest is $499. Wtf!!??

When I first started shopping for them they were out of stock and listed at that price. Then they came back into stock on Amazon and I got mine for 169 if I remember correctly.

I would wait and keep an eye out. It may be a supply chain issue. There really aren't any similar products for the price point. Especially since Topsy Products addressed the one single point of failure (the plastic cam). I have this setup and am very pleased with it.

As stated, watch Amazon. Picked mine up for $225 with free shipping. Perfect solution for removing/storing top.

Same shit happened last year. They pissed me off so I just ended up making my own electric hoist.

Just sent you a PM. I may be able to help you out.

Love this setup! Yes the price fluctuates a huge amount on Amazon. Be patient and you can get it @ $200. Picked mine up in December.
