I didn't mention any of those letters, so I don't know where you're
coming from there.
However, I did accidentally tell a slight falsehood. I do have one
that hasn't broken down on me. But even that is not in such great
condition, and I don't use it anymore. I have cloth tape, similar to
duct tape, holding parts of it together.
And just in case you're wondering, I can't find any of the above
letters on it. The only mark I can see identifying the model is "Yoga".
