As far as Test Equipment, Chipper Checker as an example. RCA probably own that patent...before they went out of business, and sold out to France.....then China.....they probably gave Sencore the offer to reproduce it. Sencore makes good....High Priced Test Equipment...Good Technical Support. Good Product. Now.......if it's gone to China.....and didn't cover all their Patent Rights...Sencore will soon be folding...if, as someone mentioned...they can now buy a Chipper Checker for $400 less. I have never owned a Chipper Checker, never owned a Tad-001. Have done quite well without them. But...again. it's the same example of outsourcing our Technology. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx Ask about our Service Database. www.tech-repair.net -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Damon Sent: Saturday, June 19, 2004 7:55 AM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Chipper Check Not that I know WHAT a VA62 or CM2000 is.....but I was thinking we should all celebrate the low prices by buying from anybody BUT $ENCORE for the next year or two....BTW those models.....are those the new combine --- tractor from John Deere that auto-plows and auto-harvests???
