I’ve worked as a tech, test engineer, production engineer, and in QA in my early
career and I would have returned the units pictured.
There seem to be many happy OSA owners.

Hummm.... Well I guess it is your money but the build quality of the unit pictured would not be enough to make me send them back. If I were really concerned about it I would have sent them back to Nathan and let him know why they were returned then ask him to ship some new ones just to see what they looked like.
Either way I would judge my gear purchase on how something sounds before how it "looks" like it is built, after all the construction of a Mackie board sure looks impressive if you don't know anything about electronics.
I didn't see it in your post infiniteposse but did you listen to the OSA pres before you sent them back? Not knocking anyone or anything, it's just that this seems like a pretty small thing to get picky over. Yes you have to worry about long term reliability and all that, I understand. It's just that these types of threads end up causing problems for the manufacturer years down the road when 9 times out of 10 there is really no problem.
The Soundelux iFet7 thread is a great example of this. Sounds like 25 or 30 bad mics came out (could even have been a 100 out of the 1000's and 1000's of mics they have sold) but all of a sudden there are questions about the build quality of the Soundelux stuff that will just not go away. I hate seeing good boutique audio companies get their names drug through the mud for something like this. I guess YMMV.
Thanks for the pics.
