Their newer stuff is a lot less repairable. Circuit diagrams and service information is now seen as secret. Field repair got changed to just board swapping. Fine if you can afford it and for as long as boards are available, otherwise you're on your own to try to reverse engineer the things. Current Chinese brands are similar.
