Right on crazy eyes!! Seen this in other machining shops. The goal was not to reduce the smarts it was to reduce the machinery. The machines were scraped and the countries that do this now got new 'different' 'low qaulity (in comparison)' machines.

It's been a long time since I worked in a machine shop but it's just nuts to think of all small shops and large shops that 'disappeared'.

No shops = no classes = lost art.

This has concerned me for a long time and it's nice to hear someone else talk about it. I've only experienced this from an electronics point of view but I hear the same from folks I know in other industries. There is a reason why NOS American made vacuum tubes are in such high demand and it's not because this or that sounds better; it's because they were made better. I think most folks are aware of it but can't see the enormity and long lasting impacts of completely outsourcing your parts supply and labor force. Preaching to the choir I suppose, what with the "journalists" and needing to learn to code (please God don't).

Hating on the Sinotronics...I found a pile of Telefunken's to feed the Hickock last Summer--good Times.

JJ's are good daily drivers.
