Quoted from G-P-E:

In the electronics world, we call this type of design "Muntzing". Muntzing is the practice of reducing the components inside an electronic device to the minimum required for it to function long enough to get past warranty.

Never heard that expression before. We are dealing with machines from the late 70's and 80's that I think were never thought of still being here today when they were manufactured.
With that being said, what do you think of the original design of the sys 1 ps. I see many still in service today. Granted most are rebuilt but the design seems to work.
