One of the problems that I have with all dealers is this; All off these large cylinder arm clone machines are made and assembled in Asia. Either in China or Taiwan. There are 3 machine factories over there that make every one of them. I absolutely hate it when dealers tell me different. For this I might add, one process can can be done to the machines, like a quality check for instance, then that countries stamp can be put on that product. It is called a global pass through. Just be honest is all we're are asking.
