MOONlite Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 i need a set of boxes for an old engine. anybody tried the chinese switchboxes on ebay? they're only $22 each...unbelieveable. i usually buy US parts but most are made in china anyway and resold by US dealers. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHTN Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Don’t have a clue if those are good, but common sense tells me you’re absolutely right, that they’d be made over there anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorakk Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 I know this thread is from September, but I've tried the Chinese switchboxes. Mine was the model for the 4cyl in lines, but it works great. Even if you buy a CDI brand box, the rectifiers, scr's and capacitors are most likely made in china.

MOONlite Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 you're right, i can't find any electronic components made in US. pretty scary relying on foreigners for parts to put in our defense systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a far stretch from Out Board motor parts to our Country's defense systems MOON........LOL. I hardly believe we use any electronic parts from any foreign nation in out defense systems. Most of our defense electronics are designed and made by NASA I am guessing...........JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOONlite Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) try to find a ceramic capacitor, shottky diode, or surface mount resistor made here. thought i remember the military having a problem getting circuit boards for missile guidance systems.

SteveHTN Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Given the previous idiot in the White House, it certainly wouldn’t surprise me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
