Why are they so crappy?


Linn. :-)

Strange isn't it? I have a Linn pre-amp which works very well but looks
like it should cost 50 quid new - not 10 times that. Not that I bought it
new.


I drilled a couple of 1.5mm holes in each hinge and put a split pin in.
I don't know how long it will last.
It looks like the original problem is that the spring end moves back and
forth on each movement and scrapes a hole in the plastic.
