How nice was it when stuff was actually made to be repaired ? Someone
brought me a Grundig Concert Boy transistor radio to look at today. Due
to the clever way that the case had been designed, with the top of the
back hooking into the top of the front, the entire thing came apart with
just two screws at the bottom having to be removed. I needed to get the
main PCB out. It was fixed to a plastic sub-chassis that came out with
just four easily accessible screws, leaving the buttons, vol control,
tone controls etc behind. I was a bit concerned about the dial cord and
drive for the tuning gang, but even that had been thought of. Once the
two screws securing the PCB to the sub chassis had been removed - it was
otherwise held firmly in place by plastic mouldings in the sub chassis
that it hooked under - the whole board was able to be lifted away,
leaving the entire dial drive mechanism behind, still fully laced up, on
the sub chassis. What a brilliant piece of design work, and simple to
manufacture and assemble originally.

Once I had done the work on it needed to get it going again, it went
back together in about 3 minutes, and the whole thing worked as good as
it did the day it came out of the factory 40 years ago, or whatever it
was ...

Gentler times, eh ... ? d

New manufacturer, Eton?

Real servers are designed for really fast part swapouts, sort of like a
Zenith console television from the 1970s, but with 5000 less cables to
undo.

I had a conversation with a tech at a consumer electronics repair shop
I worked at 20 years ago. When I left, his big complaint was moving
250lb CRT TVs. Now all he gets are flat screen TVs and does board
replacement only.
I spent ten years there repairing VCRs, was a great shop, the owner
got warranty service for every company he could, this gave us a great
selection of manuals. We had two big box stores that sent us business
plus we got all their defective store stock for warranty work.
