Which 7000?

The Royal 7000 and the D7000 were manufactured in the USA (Chicago).

The early versions of the R-7000 were also manufactured in the USA (Chicago). Later versions (some -1's and all -2's) were manufactured in Taiwan.

I was very disappointed with the Taiwan built TA. It had quality control issues from the start. Had it fixed once back in the early 80's. It was a disappointment :worried: I always wanted a TA and never had one in the 60's. The 7000 did not meet my expectations. The old 3000's are much better. My opinion. Even the TA 1000 I sold off wasn't bad, though my 3000's out perform it. The 7000 I gave away.

Which of the 7000's were the best? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks guys
