Ya i remember he said that I think a year ago, when someone posted pics of the socket throwing metal shavings.
I bought 2 u360s when they came out, and 2 just last week. They are different, but i dont think the socket is. What I noticed is my balltop shafts are thicker then the first set i bought, and the balltops are lower quality. They have a cast line around the middle that the first set didnt.
I've always had excellent sales support and service from Andy though.
Edit: I found Andy's post, but I have no idea what exact parts he's referring to. Maybe he can elaborate later on with pictures.

I am not in a position to post pictures right now but the change was the deletion of a thin washer which was used on the original Sanwa mechanics. This also involved a change to one of the spring bushings and the new one was White in Color rather then black.
There was also a later change. We deleted the use of silicone grease on the swivel bearing, but then re-introduced it again as we found is really is needed, so Sanwa were right on that one....
