So your say if "Joe Mechanic", or "Joe TV Repairman" buys a new car or TV that needs a bunch of changes to make it work, he should just accept that.
What am I missing?
Do you suppose if the guys bought all the "sub standard" ARFs, complained over all these years, instead of just fixin em up, maybe the quality would be there by now?
C'mon guys, if you lay down, you will get walked on.
BTW, I have bought several ARFs, and had several parts replaced, by complaining to the Mfgs. I'm doing my part.
