I'm an electronics guy, so it makes sense to me.
It also reminds me that I need to make time to tear my trusty Pioneer SX-880 apart and clean all of the pots and switches. Probably need to check the capacitors and replace anything that looks sketchy. I bought it new in the late 70's, and it would be nice to use it again.
... and I also need to do the same for the Yamaha receiver that I bought to replace the Pioneer. <..sigh..>
Honestly, mechanical switches and potentiometers are just trouble waiting to happen, but it does take time to happen.

I have no idea what that is but it looks impressive, it also reminds me I have to get my Luxman RX101 back into the shop. The right channel is out again. Also the servo face is broken, again, but I don't really tthink that is repairable anymore.
