Richard, that line of advertising could only work on someone who had never witnessed the string-winding process. The real difference is that the machines were analog in the sense that the tension, etc. was handled differently. Setup of the machine took longer as the operator typically had to make and sometimes measure key adjustments. But once said adjustments were made, the machine could wind the strings with a reasonably good quality assurance until the operator stopped feeding it wire. Of course, as those machines wear, replacement with digitally controlled machines such as D'addario ws touting is the way to go. Likely those companies that waited a bit longer will enjoy even better technology at it.

We live in exciting times.
