It's easy to scorch even if your soldering skills *are* first-rate.

It's that layered turret construction that makes things difficult.

I have had numerous winged KWM2A's that were teflon wired, and had
the full set of upgrades, as shown in the KWM2 update sheets.

As far as I can tell, the obsession with the meatball is simply because
it is the newest example of very old technology.
