I understand exactly where you're coming from, as regards Sony equipment, Dennis. Having spent a lot of my working life repairing all manner of domestic electronic products (and quite a fair number of professional products, too), I long ago came to the conclusion that Sony seem to spend a substantially disproportionate part of the manufacturing cost of a product on those parts of that product that are literally seen by the user. And this is usually a non-technical user, too. It isn't until you (eventually) manage to prise the covers off and start delving around inside that you start to realise how poorly-engineered most of their products actually are. Yes, I will readily concede that when Sony kit is working, it usually works well, but it is very clearly designed to be anti-maintenance. After all, Sony aren't going to make any money by people having their Sony kit repaired by a third party, are they? But they will make money from that customer if he goes and buys the 'all new and shiny' latest Sony model.
