pre unification West German make.
What makes you say East Germany had bad quality stuff?
The Trabant vehicle, ( duroplast strong composite ) was whipped up during that time /era.
All jokes aside, My old man complained that his Soviet copy motorcycle would constantly overheat and and never run as fast as the West German motorcycles ( I forget the names ).

I do how ever think that with the decades that passed, they mastered that and many other manufacturing issues.
I mean look at how well their oreshnik IRBM preformed!

Sorry for the tangent, Not really related to the OP topic!
 
An inquiry by a friend for a project...has me pondering the purchase of a dividing head.
a quick poke around locally came up empty.
has anyone contacted this seller to look at what he's offering?
