    Will certainly be a bummer if they do go under, I really appreciated their serviceability. Have several in the immediate family that have been going for over 7 years at this point though all kinds of calamities. Each time can I just pop out all the components clean/replace as necessary and get it back in service, good as new.

      Agree. While I think there’s been little effort to evolve their products at the same pace as their competitors, I have very much appreciated their servicability.

      If it doesn’t work, hit it with a hammer.

      If it then breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
