I don’t think the discussion is pointless, though. Thanks to Brian’s website link to the Con-Cor site and Jim Conway’s letter, I learned something more about Chinese production and the history as it pertains to our models.
Also, in a truly rare moment of transparency, Conway provided a measure we seldom see in terms of size of production runs these days. You want to know how many pieces are being produced typically. Then click on the link and read.
Very interesting and enlightening overall.
