    I understand where you are coming from OP. I bought a NIb Munsters LE and an opto was bad on the lower PF. This was not a wire that came loose in transit and should have easily been caught with proper QC. I can do some basic repairs but was not comfortable since this was on the lower PF so paid my local place to switch out the opto. Chaz was awesome helping me detect the issue, but I was bummed my new $9k toy was not registering the lower PF shots out of the box. At that point i decided that is my last nib pin. Lot of very knowledgeable and talented people on here that this stuff does not bother them so I will start buying as 2nd or 3rd owner after things like this are fixed, save a chunk of change and have some extra money for repairs I cannot handle if needed.
