Thanks Sonni I think it's interesting to keep notions like this fresh, iimmc.
We know the folks we buy from, but we don't know from whom they source their supplies. That's when it becomes dodgy for those who need good reliable pieces, every time. More so for those of us who don't buy by the 50,000 so don't have an in with manufacturers.
It used to be that one could buy a known 'brand', but that's not happening now. JohnJames for instance now has their needles made in China (to their specs they assure folks….hmm, aye, well, lets just say I'm glad I have a stock of old ones, 'cos Pony stuff is carp)
