Quality Control ?? Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Bought my RS-50M in 1994. Its still working fine but.....when I first got it, I noticed smoke trickling from the case when in use at about 20 amps draw. Luckily nothing was damaged but upon inspection with the top cover off, I noticed loose bolts (pass transistors, etc) and poor soldering. Rather than paying $$ to return the unit I resoldered / tightened and its been A1 since. Quality of components a 4.9... Quality of assembly a 0.0... with an average of 3.0...Hopefully Astron has closed the loop on this since.
