What components are manufactured in the U.S.A.?

Right on Lrsky, and so is French's fine mustard, which is certainly not French to start with, but equally is not likely to be terribly much American, as 80% of world production of mustard seeds cometh from that fine Land North of the great 49th, which brought us the likes of Glen Gould, Briston, jet-liner feeding geese, and. . . Ms. Anderson.

Reality is that we live in a deeply interdependent world-wide economic system, where claims of national production autarchy are growing less and less meaningful and even relevant.

Welcome back Ellery911! Add Jeff Rowland Design to the mix. All boards, metal works, and assembly of all models made in Colorado Springs (Co), USA.

Ellery, the problem is that the whole issue of "Made in XXX" is a false problem, and the folks in those economic fora should know better than to raise such red herrings. The national or State flag of the plant where the final screw of my JRDG 312 has been fastened is but the final link in a manufacturing chain of many transactions, companies and nations. Take for example fine Barilla Italian pasta, which can be purchased in the US for a moderate premium over domestic brands. The protectionist gourmet crowd shall clammer about our national duty to eat what's made at Home. . . Yet, Barilla must buy most of its Durum wheat outside of Italy, including Russia, Canada, Argentina, and the USA, if it wants to fulfill the demand of more than a mere fraction of its domestic customers. . . Thus, our screamers for feeding purity should be happy, right? . . . Wrong of course. . . the fertilizer for that Durum may be made from fine guano from. . . Peru, stolen from under the seat of its rightful producers. . . as it was lovingly dropped then shaped into a nest by a mated pair of Sula variegatas (Peru Booby). . who in turn had been feasting on innocent migrating offshore Sardines. . . . and things get murkier and murkier as we pursue the seemingly infinite chain.

Perhaps those folks should have a closer look at the gleaming front panel of my beloved US made Rowland 312, made from aircraft grade Aluminum alloy, whose major constituent was extracted somewhere in the World from Bauxite ore. . . Problem is that, according to Wickipedia, "In 2007, Australia was the top producer of bauxite with almost one-third world share, followed by China, Brazil, Guinea, and Jamaica." Where's the USA? Or ask them to examine the nickel which plates that final screw that fastens the top plate of the same amp. . . Is that extracted in the USA? naah, most likely shipped from frigid Sudbury (Canada), the French speaking little island nation of New caledonia, or from quasi undemocratic Russia. . . but tell them not to get their panties in a bunch yet. . . that bit of Nickel is most likely of meteoritic origin. . . from Outer Space, that is.

Hi Ellery. . . definitely my post was not pointed at you. . . but at the juvenile trogs of the protectionist wing in the cloud out there. (grins!) G.
