Thanks to all for the encouragement and advice.
Its just taking the rough with the smooth and what you are used to.
I suppose in 1967 manufacturers were getting into their stride making stuff that was reliable and never intended to be repaired. It all started with the transistor, prior to that they made things that could be repaired quite easily because they did go wrong frequently.
If you think about the progress from valves to transistors and then the chip, valves lasted longer than all the others. I look inside modern stuff and weep, no chance of me fixing it, I can't even see some of the components!
