Interesting. How many chips and/or modules did they ruin with that technique (?) before they were told to stop it, and (supposedly) put the ICs in by hand?

That is a great set! I have had 2 20CC50's and I would trade most sets for this set. It will give you tons of good performance! Its well worth the cabinet work needed and you can have a very dependable tube tv as a daily driver!
