Bordercollie, that's a good summary. Yes, the system is broken. As my wife keeps saying, imagine if I was not handy with these things. Most of the repairs were just work, not parts. When I weighed the hassle of taking it back again or doing it myself, properly, I felt better about doing it myself.
I don't know if this is an argument for buying used. Well, if the first owner is conscientious, then yes, it probably is. The second owner gets the benefit of all the bugs being fixed. But what if the first owner just lives with all the flaws, and they get worse, etc.?
I came down on the side of buy it new but cheap, expect to fix things, have a good rig in the end. I think that's how it worked out.
Perhaps a letter to the MFG & the Better Business Bureau might be a better idea.
