Hi Peter, I'm not sure if you'll get this or not, but I used to work for NEC (until 6mos ago) for 19 years. I was part of the first US assembly team that re-assembled APC III and APC IV computers. That was back in 1986. Because of the tariffs imposed on Japan, we received computers that were previously assembled and tested in Japan, then disassembled and sent to the US for re-assembly.
