I was told that after Mr. Skeuse delivered the original to Japan, he told them to copy it exactly. When he got the first prototype back, he was disappointed in the quality of the finish, particularly on some of the internals. He was mad about some tool marks, until the Japanese showed him that there were tool marks n the original, so they copied them. Anyone else heard that?
