Actually there are quiet a few, However not near as many as use use circle D and Yank as while I do feel we have and excellent converter, Our converters are not promoted as much.
I can tell you they are spin balanced and welded on a precision machine and from pictures I have seen of other compared to ours very similar in every way.
