Some people wonder why I'm so down on China when it comes to technological stuff. Well, it's because of the fraudsters. I mean, you can't even get a decent SID chip any more.
The quality of these Chinese manufactured parts is so far through the floor that it comes out in ... um ... Britain. It takes a Western company to oversee manufacture and impose quality controls in order for product to come out at a decent standard; and even then it is designed to be thrown away in a year or two.
Most of this low quality crap seems to be coming out of China these days. A fraction of the cost of a decent chip and, that's why; it's a fake. Stuff don't work right. And we waste our money on junk while putting the real deal out of business. Myford actually went to the wall recently. They introduced the "Super 7" lathe in '53 but their competitor was offering stuff at a quarter of the price. No wonder they died ... but here's the stupid thing ... given a choice, people would still prefer to own a Super 7.
Go figure.
