Perhaps Olivetti got sloppy. I can only speak from experience.  I have
a 6300 that has been running almost continuously for three years.  In
that time I've had two hardware problems: (a) the V-30 chip I had stuck
in in place of the 8086 died (can't blame that on ATT) and (b) the
numeral five (5) got bouncy (cure: pull the key and clean it).
