I miss the Accutrack turntable with the Phantasm ball. If the stylus went bad and a regular ADC needle was used, it was just a mediocre turntable.

Sharp had a cassette deck with a buttload of buttons for setting record/play times and all kinds of other crap. That didn't keep it from being a mediocre tape deck.

The Sansui R-series of receivers blew up so often one of our service techs used to say "They put the output transistors in, to protect the fuses". One of the other guys answered a phone call and answered "Do you repair Sansui?" with "All the time". She missed the real meaning and heard it only as "Yes".
