and now the video is available on a dozen other channels 😛 in part thanks to the call from Louis Rossman. Full Streisand effect.
(Very interesting video btw)

I've been watching Mend it Mark for a few years now. He's a superb technician, no fear of anything old or new. Highly recommended to watch, not just this vid either.

I am of the opinion that the manufacturer is suffering from a case of bruised ego. Not only did MiM fix the device when he was told he wouldn't be able to, he also revealed that the design was essentially pedestrian. On a piece that expensive, its a huge blow.
