I've got a U.S. made '84 TS and the welds are very good and nothing like yours. Going off your platform supports,it looks like yours could be 'far eastern' made with the baseball stamped serial number.
Clearly Quadog isn't happy with the quality of his Trick Star. Maybe Diamond Back were on the case when it came to Quality Control and Hutch were not. I use the words "far eastern' as I can't remember exactly which country the baseball stamped frames were made. At one time though,I did have a pair of Trick Star forks that were stamped 'Tange' which was an eye-opener for me.
