Well that is what I mean. Companies that THINK they are buying one thing are getting another without ever knowing. It's a big problem. Something needs to be done and I think the gov has started. I think.

It seems to me that the worker who bent the speakers to get them in place is getting a free pass here. I am curious as to the company attitude that allowed the worker to think this was an acceptable fit. If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit: end of story. Put both aside for rework and move on. But it must have been the case that the attitude was, "Make it fit." Not a good thing.
I also agree with the general distrust of glue. Eventually it will fail, but there are many items out there that are glued assemblys and last for years. But I want screws, welds, rivets or any of a multitude of historically proven methods of fastening.
This was just such an incredible mess! I sold the receivers to the company that developed the system. He sold the receivers to the Farm Bureau, which put the receivers in the homes of farmers, so that they could get useful information via data. (This was before the internet.)
When the capacitors failed, the system failed and the Farm Bureau had to retrieve and replace the receivers at great cost. Everybody was hurt.
When the capacitor manufacturer sent a lawyer after me, I turned it over to my lawyer. My lawyer settled the lawsuit by telling the manufacturer's lawyer that if he drops the suit against us, we would not sue them for damages. The lawyer's bill almost equalled the amount of the suit.
Yes Rob, when you put an ohmmeter across a 0.1 uf capacitor and measure 100 ohms or 1000 ohms, that is proof that the capacitor is bad. When you have hundreds of capacitors that show similar leakage, you have proof of defective parts. Furthermore, I am not the only manufacturer who had similar problems with these parts.
Keep in mind that this is a US manufacturer. I never had this problem with Chinese capacitors!
The manufacturer filed a lawsuit against me because I refused to pay for the defective capacitors. Running a small business without an honest and capable lawyer is impossible!
We looked at a number of sources to determine this year's greenest cars, from KBB to automotive trade magazines to environmental organizations. These 14 cars emerged as being great at either stretching fuel or reducing carbon footprint.
Researchers at MIT and Sandia National Labs have observed a reaction in lithium-air batteries that could help improve the design of these cells for electric vehicles and other applications.
Healthcare might seem to be an unlikely target application for the Internet of Things technology, but recent developments show small ways that big-data is going to make an impact on patient care moving into the future.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
