Ted, good question and I'm not sure I have the answer but my hypothesis is that ORBKF sells instrumentation which is used for quality control aspects of manufacturing, and not "production" machinery. With the oversupply of chips in the market chip buyers can pick and choose which chip sellers they will buy from and they will probably insist that the chip manufacturer use state of the art equipment for quality control purposes (thereby ensuring low "return" rates)....hence ORBKF's "niche"...just my theory. ORBKF IMHO is priced at 1/2 what it should be.
