    I've had many bad #2s come from them. Getting banged around during delivery it seems. Mad Dog

    One of the angle vents was all corroded in the picture on their web site.

    Although they usually are big on making sure stuff gets shipped right, they would only ship Runtals motor freight because they were getting damaged by regular carriers.

    Even stuff that says USA made may be on a slow boat from China.

    When I was between years in college I had a summer job in Stamford, CT wiring control panels in a factory. Todd CEA. I was wiring a panel for the Cost Guard Station in Cape May, NJ.

    The boss of the panel shop came around with a handful of stickers and put them on the panels being wired. The stickers said, "UNION MADE". Needless to say, we were not union.

    53 years ago, wonder if that panel is still in use? Doubtful
