      yup. I hate the ‘soft touch’ capacitive sensors on everything now… utter garbage. give me solid chunks of plastic and metal opening and closing solenoids for that satisfying clunk that tells you the machine is going.

      i wonder what price point you could hit with 1950’s technology, but without the thick steel… then i wonder about loss of efficiency and safety. im sure someone know of a brand threading this needle in like brazil or somewhere already.
