Looking at the serial number (tied to a manufacture date) it appears that your machine was made right during the transition period of the labeling. This would not be a drop in quality control, rather, it is entirely possible that the production line was utilizing the remaining labels. As a result there could have been a short period of overlap during the switch. I did check the machines coming down the line today and they do have the labeling showing it was manufactured in Appleton, WI, USA.
Where is my "Made in USA" label on my Dynasty700?

The "Made in the USA" means different things to different people. No machine is entirely made in the USA, or final costs would be somewhat higher than you would expect.
It only takes 51% of Actually made in the USA product and 49 % foreign content to be labeled "Made in the USA".
That said, the 51% originates from other suppliers, who in turn use the 51/49% rule. So who really knows how much of the end product actually comes out of the USA.

I am bit sentimental that way.
I am hoping they can do something for me.Nothing welded, Nothing gained

GM has 2 very large plants in china and what they make in china is sold to the chinese.
So ya, they have the same opinion as I do.
Go to the gm coorporate site and you will see they have plants all over the world so they don't have to ship the cars, kinda like toyota and honda and did you check the gm plants in Canada?
They employ the people that is their target market. That is the RIGHT thing to do.
And yes that is all right for the market in all contries.
Now Iphone and apple computers, nice product but applle should consider putting plants in all the countries thay market in, little things like are good for the people and the companies.
Still my opinionLive Right Have Fun
