    I think it was made in Czechoslovakia. I have not used any of this although I have picked up some.

    Some was made in Korea, some in Spain and as stated Czechoslovakia. There is talk of some dated in the mid 70's that ruptured. I junk all that I find.

    Good call IMHO. Unless they can be proven to be not Korean, best to scrap them.
    I have seen a number of photos of very scary Korean PS case failures - worst case scenarios etc.
    There are certainly known bad production lots of those.
