Ries;  a number of folks would disagree . There were handfulls of 
casting sand and rocks all over the inside the first batch.
  Helmut Hillenkamp is the worst i know about,,Piston too tight to work 
properly, collapsed air passages in the casting..spent days grinding 
them out..etc.
Got to know them so well that he fixed some other folk's too.
Gary Gloyne had to replace a broken ring right  out of the crate, then 
had to replace the contactor and then the motor capacitors several 
times..then the motor. 6 pole motors are expensive!
Gary said Anyang was not at all helpful.
Seem to recall Mark Krause being called to work on one or more too.
