[Red to black]

No! the next one was even worse IMO!
It wasn't as fiddly/fussy as the deck mentioned in the OP (it was quite a bit simpler), but had small plastic bits that held springs for the eject gear etc...etc. that snapped at random, often it was a game of guessing which plastic lug had snapped off, as more often than not it was not immediately obvious.

Even worse some critical spindles for crucial gears were not fixed to the main deck plate metal to metal as it were, but instead set into plastic inserts which predictably failed requiring a whole new deck plate, which necessitated swapping every bit from the old deck to the new! ie. a full strip and rebuild (jigsaw puzzle) including every spacer and washer and spring, with a full adjustment and set up to boot!.

JVC would only supply the bare deck plate as a replacement part, this was a fairly expensive item on its own, needless to say many were scrapped due to this.
