BITD, they were built to last, as long as they were made in the USA. I have too many Novak escs to name that still work to this very day. And all of them were used and abused.

Nowaways, thanks to the discovery of off-shore labor, we have crap to work with.

With today, even the best of the best craps out - it either lasts forever, or it will fry out within 5-6 runs.

I miss the old days
