I'm always a bit amazed at the parts still available for my 30+ year old rig, but when they arrive it, the amazement is more or less how is this POS able to be marketed as OEM or better quality?
Then I remember our new 'post truth' world and decide to keep the old failing stuff for as long as possible, for while that stuff was designed to last the original pathetic warranty, the new stuff is designed to last just long enough in extremely light duty usage, so that less than half the screwed individuals might try to exercise any recourse when it fails and therefore is still profitable, since it was made in west bumblefuckstan where they earn 37 cents a day before taxes anyway.
upset? sue me, I got lawyers will make you regret being upset in the first place.
Expecting quality... what a fool.... haw haw......
It would be great to actually replace old worn out parts, with new top quality stuff which should last just as long original if not more than 2x as long, but that is simply not profitable.
Let marketing deal with it.
