Jinglish

[Trevor Wilson]

About a million years ago, when I worked for Marantz, I picked up the
best power amp they made in the 1970s. Only 3 were imported into
Australia out of only 300 made. So incredibly unreliable was the Model
500, that the company refused to sell the last one in stock, so I
grabbed it. I was looking for a picture to send to a mate and came
across the best Jinlish translation I've ever seen:

FWIW: The fundamental problem with the Model 500, was the use of
marginally rated output devices. A small rise in mains Voltage would see
the breakdown Voltage of the output devices exceeded. Replacing with
some decent, 250 Volt, Japanese devices solved the problem.

Having worked for a Japanese computer company in the early 80s I used to
speak it like a native.
