You're going to be hard pressed to find one not made in China, at least at a decent price point.

Have no idea what you are buying, but not buying China means you're not buying much.

Glueguy got his from Amazon (the link in his post). It is not the same as the one in the original post and in my mods. That one is one distributed by Harbor Freight Tools. It is printed on the box next to the bar code.

Not the same. I wanted something that tilted and swiveled. Asked around a little, and just grabbed this one. It worked except for the upside-down thing. It was less than $15.

I installed the Harbor Freight mount today. As mentioned I only used the tilt/swivel mechanism and the TV mount. The PEX tube option SH suggestion was a winner. Only issue was I had to press the PEX tube into the mount arm. I used a longer bolt and two flat washers. No biggee and at end of the day the mount tilts and swivels just fine. 15 dollar improvement and works great. Appreciate the info.
