You also have to understand the only reason someone buys that shit is because of the cool nostalgia factor - not because it's the best product for the application on the market. We've come a long way and have advanced quite a bit with technology - 40 year old parts just ain't it. Cool, but not cool enough for me to dump a paycheck on something stupid to hang from a zip-tie in my garage as a conversational piece.
