HAHA warms my heart to hear I'm not alone. Yes US did some poor designs on roller guides, limit switches and the light bulb leveling!!! And I guess it cost too much to put hinges on controllers and car stations. BUT they did a lot of things right too! The 1220 and 1230s were years ahead of some manufacturers and to know them was to love them. (AS long as you had a good supply of spare boards).......
