"After realizing in a classical concert hall, the audience hears mostly reflected sound, the holy man
went on to design the famed 901 which recreated 10% direct and 90% reflected sound in your living room."
Then how come his first model had all of the drivers on the front, stuck in a corner?

Your welcome.
Long ago, in the analog era, digital video recorders were hot.
But not all was engineered perfect, this one had a little problem.
Having a 'powerup', 'reset' and 'sleep' control on the processer, waking up for a timed recording puzzled the processor. So some inner parts were engaging while other remained frozen. The result was a destroyed gearbox, consisting of countless parts.
I've reworked many until a 'delayed crowbar' I inserted on the reset pin prevented this from happening. A diode, small cap and small signal relay were needed to avoid high repair costs.

I rather like the modular nature of modern TVs. Mine (after an altercation with an ex and a poker) needed a new panel. Only a couple of panel makers in the world, so I got a Sony panel off ebay and fitted it to my LG TV. 7 years later the main board went, suspected BGA/lead free problem. I swapped some bits out of another TV we were going to junk anyway and it'll be good for another 5 years. Excellent repairability.
I went around the world and only got very sick from food poisoning twice (both times in the UK). When I bought a Jamie Oliver pan a few weeks ago I thought : "English food" and then:"that is an excellent pan to make horrible food with". When visiting Dublin it was rainy and cold every day but all blokes (many red haired) were drinking beer in white T-shirts outside in the rain and cold every day
You are very right about the 3 speed Sturmey-Archer. Just a cable problem now and then but they never failed on me. Now the aluminium bicycles fall apart and when I ask the bicycle repairman what is OK he points at his 80ies Gazelle. The worst of the bunch are the 7 speed Shimano Nexus and tests revealed one needs more force/power for these compared to the older 3 speed ones. So older tech was more efficient because of ball bearings.

Tefal, who make the Jamie Oliver pan are a French company...
I hated sturmey archer 3 speeds as a kid. Adjusting them to get all 3 gears to work was hell and even then you got 3 gears of little use. Now after my 80s bike finally died I have all italian groupset and every part is replacable and rebuildable. I'll get back to you in 20 years on Al frame life as its my first.
And the English have been proud drunkards for at least 400 years with Europeans grumbling about this. It's either in our DNA or because of the awful food

Don't forget the teeth
I hated the S.A. 3 speed also as a kid but that was more because no one could adjust the cable right (either me or one of the other kids). Position 2 was OK but position 3 was most of the times too heavy. Position 1 was useless. However it worked in 2. Best was a bicycle with no speeds but everybody thought you were a strange bloke when you had such a bike. When I bring stuff over to the recycling place it hurts my eyes when I see such reliable bicycles being discarded of. Any repair guy tells the same: if you want one that does not break down, find a 80ies steel bicycle before they are gone.
That is why they are excellent

Just had a look at: Collegiate | Hybrid Bike for Men and Women | 700c Wheels - Schwinn
– Schwinn Bikes
Chromoly steel frames, eighties look but ... dealbreaker ... eighties brakes and aluminium rims. Roller brakes, stainless steel rims and a hub dynamo and LED lighting (lighting is a must here) would have made it complete. But I think the older ones were all steel and also reliable?
These electric bicycles seem OK but they cost as much as a nice second hand car:

What about The Spruce Qoose perhaps the largest plane of all time. In it's one and only flight it only got 70 feet off the ground then the project was abandoned. The Spruce Goose | Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum | Wings & Waves Waterpark | McMinnville Oregon
Post 81 : A. G. Bose himself discovered after experimentation with
pulsating spheres or point sources like this that it was the wrong way,
so I read in some old 901 proaganda material. i am not sure that the
speaker in the link was in production or for sale, may be more evidence
is required.

The Bose model 2201 (an octant of a sphere with a built-in amplifier) was a commercial product that
was in production, but not very popular. Perhaps the Bose brochure would be enough to convince you.

Bose 2201 : even a thread here :
Jurassic Bose: the Bose 2201... -
allegedly only 32 sets made, so it is no surprise that even Bose sales people
never heard about it.

The Bose sales people only know about profit margins. It needed a "bit" of EQ.

For years I had a Cannondale bike with the 5 speed Shimano hub, it was superb. Too bad the 5 speed are no longer made.
