they're both modern, made in china, carefully not labeled as such. i'd expect them to endure for about as long as your previous cell phone, with comprable maintenance and resale value.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the retail price of the OB-X? In today's money, also. Was that scrutinized back then?
ReplyDeletePeople do seem to go out of their way not to post any picture of the OB-X8 manufacturer label, even in eBay or Reverb sales where pictures in detail are expected. Almost as if there is some kind of conspiracy of covert influence. I will find one, but the difficulty is suspicious.
ReplyDeleteThe label states "Assembled in USA" which always means Chinese parts. I suppose if OB-X8 were completely manufactured in California it would cost $10,000 to $20,000. USA has priced itself out of everything. I am waiting for the day when Americans can't afford to buy anything and end up being China's manufacturing base, just to pay off our trillions in national and personal debt.
