UIC still manufacturers new thru-hole machines. Both axial and radial insertion models are available. They stopped making the multi-mod dip inserters in '91 or '92. And parts are easily acquired for any older models, there were a ton of machines out

I just want a forum to track the bad apples. They are out their and people need to know who they are and the consumer should be fully aware of policies before you buy something. Sometimes they are unclear or the sales engineer tells fib. GenRad does
