FWIW, the Bomba's were/are a Waterford-build... the prototype was done at Toyo, but it wasn't produced there. Mine, a diagonal one, the main-frame was done by Waterford, then sent to Mark Nobilette for adding the curvastays... that was before it changed over to be listed as a 'semi-custom'. I think that could be what they do now still, but, I can't guarantee that; Mark could do the whole thing these days. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
