[R-390] Chinese parts

[Cecil Acuff]

Well I've heard many express their disdain for ballast tube mods, product 
detector mods, rectifier mods...you name it...

One think I refuse to do is put a part made in China in my True Blue Made In 
USA R-390/URR or A.  I have to draw the line somewhere...

You can't hardly buy anything now days that does not at least contain 
components made in China but not in my Collins designed R-390A...and not in 
my Colt 1911-A1 45ACP either....
