No Sander, I'm just saying that they were very likely all
wave-soldered, proving that wave-soldering is not necessarily the
horror you made it out to be.

Never mind, what do I know?

More and more about less and less?

I only repaired these things for about 20 years or so.

Irrelevant, since repairing equipment is not the same as visting the factory
and watching how it is built. To make the claim you made, you'd have to know
how both good and bad equipment was made. Fact is, any high-production
non-SMT equipment was probably wave soldered, whether it was good or bad.
