- Since the A4000T's are manufactured in the US and you say you got them from
- 'special import' from Germany, wouldn't it be wise to assume that you got
- some part of an early production run that was sent to Germany from the US
- and not the latest batches from the US production?
-
- And why from Germany? Wouldn't it be cheaper to import from the US, direct
- from Quick-Pak or SMG than to ship from the US to Germany to Oz?
