Engineers .vs. repairmen

[Volvo Farmer]

Thanks to the good folks here, I now have working buttons on my obsolete MX60!  However, as a repair guy, I'd like to get my hands on the engineer who put self-locking push rings on the button pad.





Anyone know who this K7IQ guy is?

K7IQ  owns stock in the speed nut factory.  Serviceable parts Located inside. Try to get to them.    Blah Blah Blah....

And K7IQ  is not an engineer, he's in the producibility section, why use a $0.01 nut, when the speednuts are only $0.004 for a gross

Rumour has it that he has moving on to a new career...  now that he has been outed for leaving a trace back to himself...

I know this is an old thread,

But speaking of old, and threads,

I just wanted to say, "As a consumer" type of person, please feel free to pass those $0.01/per vs $0.002/per x 10 or whatever
costs along to me directly. I'll gladly pay $0.10 or $0.50, or maybe even $5 to have something I can actually take apart.

not kidding,

Worked building darkroom timers for Kearsarge way back in the day. And when the ole engineer fellow had a bunch of cases done up to use speednut posts instead of threaded posts, us folks building them weren't exactly pleased. After than run was finished, we went back to threaded studs. Was a neat idea, but painful if they didn't take right, and had to come back apart.
