Almost positive the little cheap chinese "Coby" or "jellybean sets".....are only spot checked for QC at best. I've gotten a few "new in box" that end up DOA, usually with no vertical. Almost ALWAYS they turn out to have some REAL pedestrian problem like cold solder joints. I've run across a few where the yoke is REAL OBVIOUSLY not even level...and find the yoke not at ALL loose..and even cemented in that position with that rubbery goop.
