Who is flaming? You are the only one staining his undies sofar Bob.

Get a grip.

Yes, Ive seen those EAC modules and their cost reduction process. Thats why 
my personal 390A is all Collins.

Some people never change the oil in their car either and then cry when a rod 
goes thru the block.
Its the same with the schmuk that eventually fries that power or audio 
transformer. And is too dumb to notice the gradual performance degradation 
to the AVC, audio, signal strength, etc. Then is on various forums begging 
for a cheap replacement and crying at the prices offered. Ive no pity for 
fools.
