Throw aways:
Actually I saw that coming about 20 years ago with the works in a
drawer by magnovox.
I ordered a surface mount hearing kit from Ramsey!! Had to use a
toothpic and super glue the components into place before I could
solder them! Back then the flex monuted magnifier was saficient,
now ,it requires a jewlers loop to see them!!..
However GRE should have offered to fix mine as it was the GRE
400/500 .They never answered my email??
Oh well I'll catch someone who wants to tinker or find a junk one in a
pawn shop??
