The old sets we love to work on and devote much time to were manufactured on an assembly line, so the faster they were turned out the more money the mfgr. made. I doubt the old sets were assembled, tested and boxed in more than a few hours--may be far less, so there was no love for these sets at the factory, only for the bottom line.
