Was Amphenol *that* bad?
No, not at all. The first series of Blue Ribbons (it is a whole family of
connectors, not just the "Centronics" style. In fact, it is mostly just a
catchy name, because of the blue plastic they use) did have some
reliability problems, but they were corrected. I have not seen a new
design (since 1960, anyway) with these older Blue Ribbons.
Amphenol did make some really good connectors as well.
Oh, I know. But no self-respecting scooter tramp, or British auto
enthusiast for that matter, can let a reference to Lucas go by.
