This says that Fritz actually was a new "Wizard from Maynard" in solving this problem.  Only more so -- because he didn't have the luxury of just swapping out whole sections of the machine with new kits, or a backup team of subsystem experts at the home office to call on.

That confirms it's really a very impressive performance.
