Default Do musos know how shoddy their expensive kit is?

Another Marshall 2266 this time from 2009. The input guitar lead socket
soldering looks ok under x30 viewing but 3 of the 4 pins pull through the
solder with very little force, just that required to straighten the slight
bend placed there after insertion, the fourth pin pulled out with a bit more
force but still mush less than a proper traditional solder joint (that would
usually break the metal of the pin rather than break the solder joint).
Nasty grey appearance of where the solder blobs were and very little sign of
ever having been wetted. No mention of PbF on the overlays but solder
generally looks PbF and RoHS on the mains Tx.
N382 compliance? mark on the rear , coded speak for PbF ?
