what make is that? i remember Decca and Korting being hybrid.Posh, it was the early 90s before we had colour.
I'm making up for it though as I have a 1970s valve/transistor hybrid colour TV. Gets really hot and is incredibly unreliable, it needs repair again.
would love to see a pic of the chassis on that.Philips K70, its bloody heavy too.
Apparently thats one of the reasons james dyson refused a takeover attempt by one of the big branded american companies as he said men in suits would knock out cheap junk with the dyson brand to keep shareholders happy and not build decent quality stuff that people value, it would be about numbers not engineering. He has hinted when he dies his kids will get part of the company, the staff a chunk and the rest will be in a charitable trust meaning nobody can ruin the company too easily.Hi The problem is accountant now run these companys and not engineers so it is about how cheap we can make it and not about how good we can make it meaning much goes to the tip before it should
so why is he chrning out junk that breaks down i 18 months and they refuse to supply pars, e.g. i asked them for a set of carbon brushes for a dyson, their answer was no chance, but you can have a new motor for ÂŁ90 + VAT.Apparently thats one of the reasons james dyson refused a takeover attempt by one of the big branded american companies as he said men in suits would knock out cheap junk with the dyson brand to keep shareholders happy and not build decent quality stuff that people value, it would be about numbers not engineering.

Yet he seems able to make over priced unreliable junk, especially after he shifted manufactured out to the country.Apparently thats one of the reasons james dyson refused a takeover attempt by one of the big branded american companies as he said men in suits would knock out cheap junk with the dyson brand to keep shareholders happy and not build decent quality stuff that people value, it would be about numbers not engineering.
Was referring to the cooker, I just use one of the inflation based calcs Historical UK inflation rates and calculator - http://inflation.iamkate.com I don't think that companies don't make thing that last its more that people wont pay for them.I would be pleased to read your thoughts / calculation.
Those Dyson vacuum cleaners ain’t that good....plastics feel flimsy, plus when you empty them in the wheelie bin, the muck it’s sucked up either ends up in your face or on the neighbours washing (depending on the wind direction!)Apparently thats one of the reasons james dyson refused a takeover attempt by one of the big branded american companies as he said men in suits would knock out cheap junk with the dyson brand to keep shareholders happy and not build decent quality stuff that people value, it would be about numbers not engineering.
