I've been around electronics for a very long time and I say.QUOTE]
As have I and this is pretty common.
You can't see well enough to make any
assessment of the quality of the components.
The soldering looks like it might have been done
by hand which is not uncommon either.
If you believe its a cold solder joint, resolder
and try it again.
As for total quality you'd have to make that accessment
for yourself and act accordingly.
Your other choice is a single chip like the HEI which
in my opinion is hard to beat.
You could buy the MSD and see whats in their box.
If you like you can google it or I can do it for you.:pottytra:
