  1. Oh, for cryin' out loud... Don't even get me there. Soviet quality was all over the place, depending on the application. Military, scientific, aerospace electronics, test gear and pro stuff? A thing of beauty, a joy for ever. Good grade hi-fi gear? Possibly. Everyday electronics? Super dodgyyyyyy, as DiodeGoneWild calls it. At least it can usually be fixed... As for the icky plasticky stuff, I've got two Iskra 111 calculators in my lab, one with partially broken enclosure, the other one's box was too far gone and I used it to cut out a part that was missing in the first one. Both calculators are beautifully built inside and I decided to restore them, gonna make a clear acrylic box for the other one to showcase the lovely guts. That's SLT as in Soviet Logic Technology - ten years after IBM Solid Logic Technology. "And here's the meh-anism" haha!

  2.  @ChernobylFamily  and the Lell PSR drum synthesizer which was an incomplete product to begin with, the instructions manual had a chapter on MIDI interface which was never implemented in production units because of licensing costs.
