Nothing wrong with mixmasters. They represent the practices of the armories of the time keeping troops supplied with weapons. It is also a commentary on the excellent production techniques and tolerances that allowed the interchange of parts. Yes, I can hear the "all matching or nothing" purists starting their tar boilers and gathering their pitchforks as I type.
