What's the Difference?
« on: May 06, 2025, 03:47:30 pm »
Just wondering what is the difference, or if there really even is any difference, between OKMO and Microcosm?

I've noted that almost all of Jin's eBay listings, under his various seller labels, list the Brand as Microcosm. However, the instruction sheets that come with many of these engines are mostly labelled OKMO with no mention of Microcosm.

So, what's the difference, and what is actually what here??

Is OKMO a division of Microcosm, or vice-a-versa, or are they completely separate entities, or ........ ???

Not a big deal I don't suppose ..... but curious minds want to know!?!?

Bonjour,

To my opinion, Microcosm and Okmomodel are the two names of the same company.

I would imagine that Okmomodel has been created when Jin has had problems with eBay.

Both URLs exist and Okmomodel refers to Microcosm.
