welllll yes and no, says right on their site the best parts are selected then assembled in the USA. meaning they probably get good quality parts from china then its assembled here in the states...

yea most of the reason electronic gizmos fail are bad components and or shotty soldering jobs so i am glad to see they actually care about the quality more than the bottom dollar.

Well, by golly, Slugs, yer right. When I bought mine last year they proudly claimed "All parts made in America." But I also heard they sold the company late last year, and apparently that policy and practice changed. I'm going to call in the morning and confirm.

700rpm: Love your signature line-except Yogi didn't say it. It's actually Danish from the 1930's. Still fun,though.

K. K. Steincke, Goodbye and Thanks (1948), quotes it as a pun used in the Danish parliament in the late 1930s.

Thanks for the note. I can't find that the Steincke attribution has been absolutely verified as the original, though he is certainly one of many who said something similar. I gave it to Yogi because he has so many other good ones.

I like researching the origin of terms and phrases. "OK" is one of the more interesting. "23skidoo" is also fascinating for its risque roots and innuendo, as is "O you kid", two slang terms common in the Model A era.
