Thanks.
These days, my first concerns with any new electronic machine is
reliability and repairability. Too many gadgets are built with poor
quality, barely in spec. components, surface mounted. After a few
years a board fails. There is no straigthforward way to identify the
failed component. Replacing a surface mount component is tedious and
error prone. Replacing a many-pin device just to find whether it is
faulty is too time consuming.
Conclusion: a board with components mounted in sockets and through
hole soldered would have much more appeal than fragile components
surface mounted. Perhaps simply not feasible in our world and I
should forget modern electronics. No offense intended. Just an frank
comment.
Best Regards ... Peter E.
