Hi folks, Nice to be missed!!!! IMHO, the dumping of manufacturing, especially in Rochester, NH is long overdue. CB has continually struggled with getting quality product off the SMT lines in Rochester. A whole division of "repair technicians" is constantly devoted to doing nothing more than repairing consistent manufacturing defects!!!! This constant delay in delivery, along with associated overhead, is one of the two achilles heels holding this company back (I'll let you folks ponder on the other "heel"). Anyways, word on the Rochester, NH floor is that after five years of consultants, line restructuring, morale incentives, etc. that the only hope for the manufacturing line is it's demise. If this pans out, and CB finally outsources manufacturing to off-shore assets that can deliver a quality product on time/less cost, this turkey may sprout wings again!!! I'll keep you posted.....
