Maybe they improved quality control at some point (or decreased it before my time, idk), but as I recall, the issues were mostly with some of the later contraptions, like the diving board, the diver going into the tub, and the final cage itself.
I’m guessing it’s the reverse- quality control got less over time. The Mousetrap I’ve seen recently looks much crappier than the one we had, which was from the 70s. Which is weird since it’s just plastic.
I don’t get this complaint. What didn’t work? It always worked 100% for me.

My version was from the '80s, fwiw.
Yeah they probably got crappier with time, mine was likely from the 90s
