NEMC bought the rights to the Olds name, but do not actually manufacture any of the instruments. It's exactly the same as the Kenmore brand sold by Sears. Sears doesn't make anything. They contract with big brand name companys to produce their appliances with their name on it. Repair men know what make the machines actually are. So it is with Olds instruments. Doesn't mean they are necessary poor quality. UMI does the same thing.
