"Flops and Bad designs" huh? Lemme see....
For me...MRL's are bad design. I get the whole "usable space" thing and "Eco friendly" line, but unable to see a machine, working on a brake issue in the overhead where you need at least two mirrors and two more arms, seismic devices mounted on a plywood floor in a dorm? Please....
Next up would be TKE's blue ribbon winner "Cheapest Fixtures in The World". And a simple button repair is out as it seems there are no less than four generations of buttons that cannot interchange parts...nice.
And not to bang TK twice, but when in the world are those engineers going to design a floating selector box? C'mon!
Everything is great when it runs, but in a world of ADON boards, IOA's and D's...
redundant I/O's man it can be tough.
But then there is the old Amtech hydro with those stupid Midtex relays...50/50 chance you'll plug it in without bending one of those tin foil contact base fingers. I always felt I had to pull it out again just to see if they all went in.
There's more, but I'll leave that to the next poster.
Oh....remember the U.S. Diplomat selector system? Wild.
