Yeah, you're right. About every single solitary one of these guys I've seen come up looks like it was run over by the German Army in bare feet. Funny, too-IIRC, these little guys were pretty expensive-You'd think they woulda had better treatment. But I also seem to remember that like about every "First one there is" product, they were NOT too reliable, maybe a lot of 'em died early, & then rambunctious kids got hold of 'em & "woolled" 'em to death... They were too expensive to toss, & back then people didn't toss things as quickly as they do today, but nobody really knew how to work on 'em, either. So there they sat in a closet, until the aforementioned brat found 'em, & proceeded to Have His Way w/the poor little guy...Just a thought.
