I agree, nothing finer than owning a totally unmodifiable set, a precision
Chinese instrument, complete with the use of masking tape to insulate exposed
connections. This is top notch. To hell with the age when the products were
constructed with enough materials that you could actually carry them across
the room without the chassis flexing. Yes, these old sets are a nuisance,
they can actually be repaired, (not every function is accomplished by some
gigantic Integrated Circuit, comprising 75% of the radio's functions). And the
old sets had that annoying feature where you could plug the cord directly into
the wall, depriving us of the ability to overburden the real-estate of our
outlets with those decorative wall warts. How stupid those old engineers were.
Don't get me wrong, the new stuff can be packed with features, and even if
initially complex, the features allow much usefulness. The reliability seems
very high on much of the equipment, minimizing the need for repair.
But the old stuff still has class.
