Hi Chris,

The "MOUG" part is actually mispelled it is from Moog
located in East Aurora NY near Buffalo.  The
speciallize in airplane parts, like landing gear and
various automotive components.  If there is a Moog
part for our beloved Syncro I can only say that it is
as good if not better than the original German part.
Moog has a extremely high quality control and prides
itself on anything with their name.  My company does
some of the computing work as contractors for them.

Hope this sheds some light.

Cheers
Joel Cort
