See any qualifiers?
Yes, I do.
"Once again, a mechanical device will never out do and electronic one for simplicity and low maintenance."
What would you rather change, a spindle on a lathe or a circuit board? How about the oil in a gear box? Electronics doesn't require oil, filters or mechanical adjustments.
It still comes down to moving parts and electronics without moving parts, back to the piston going up and down or the transistor amplifying.
You think the piston requires less maintenance and is simpler?
You're wrong.
