The first batch of Phillips CD100s the very first CD player on the market
had quite a lot of wires cut tracks and components wired in odd ways inside
it. I have to say that none of these what we might call bodges ever caused
any trouble during the lives of the products.

** True story:

A manufacturer here in Sydney ( Jands Electronics) made a
\"pre-production\" batch of a new model power amplifier for
professional use. They wisely chose to road test it in the
expected environment - on the road with live bands. They proved to be
problematic in several respects and the design
was heavily revised for the production version. The sample amps were
fully labelled with the maker\'s logo and the
same model number as the later versions.

Well that was pretty stupid of them.

** Not at all - if problems were small or fixable the amps would
have been used in the same company\'s hire business. Needed to
look right for that job.

No need to have the same model number.

Think there were about 20 of them, put into storage for eventual
disposal. Then an enterprising staff member obtained them and decided
he
could sell them all to a local second hand dealer
- letting him believe they were just like the regular models on
sale at the time - but for a very low price so giving him a large
mark up. So he lied.

** No. He deceived a gullible fool and sold items that wound up
hurting the company he worked for.

That is a lie, he did not say they were tests.

But my question was about selling them as engineering samples.

** The situations are parallel.

In both cases the items were not meant for sale for good reasons.
And assholes like YOU wanted to circumvent that decision for their
own benefit.

No, if I buy an engineering sample advertised as such, I don\'t expect
it to work perfectly.
Newsgroups reinstated.

Hucker is a well known troll. Best not to feed the twat.

How\'s your husband doing?

Try reading the text above more slowly this time. It is explicitly loaned.

If they never take them back, it\'s not a loan. Can you loan me your mower forever? No, that\'s called a gift.

Oh, did YOU happen to get all the paperwork allowing you to possess the

Doesn\'t matter to me. I\'ve paid the money and I have the product, any

Knowingly handling stolen goods is illegal.

Not knowing they\'re stolen doesn\'t mean you get to keep them. They will
rightfully be confiscated from you.

It\'s not rightfull. The person who stole them should be made to reimburse me.

Responsibility works it\'s way up the tree.
Each party owes the one they supplied, unless the *purchaser* was knowing OR reckless at to legal ownership.
Then they are liable for handling stolen property.

FYI:

In my business ( electronics repairs) I sometimes get offered stolen items to fix.
The giveaway is the \"owner\" has no clue about the fault or how the thing is even operated.
Refusing to say how or where he got it is a cincher as are missing serial numbers.

If I know or reasonably suspect an item in my workshop was stolen, I cannot legally give it back.
Funny how the culprits do not see it that way....

You can actually. If you tell the police to ask the judge/magistrate, they can award money to those who lost out, taking it from the thief.

Some is good, some is shit, but you can get money back for the shit.

I bought some Li Ion batteries claiming 2.5 times more capacity than the best Panasonic ones. They actually had a third of the Panasonic\'s capacity when I tested them. As soon as I suggested they weren\'t up to spec, I got a 100% refund and could keep them. They know they\'re fiddling.

But I bought a battery charger for 99p including postage from China, and it works perfectly.

The BBC computer had a similar problem - the early versions had to have
an heatsink on a certain chip to keep it cool, I half remember.

I had one of the very early ones and don\'t remember any such problem.


They were supplied initially with a non-switching P/S that ran rather
hot, but a better switch-mode power supply (astec?) was supplied
free-of-charge a few months later.

The ones I encountered were very heavy, so I assume not switching. I
don\'t remember excessive heat. It\'s not like we used to run the CPUs
flat out back then.

What, you didn\'t have a Turbo button?
