What, exactly, do you mean when you say "quality construction issues" that you're having a problem with.  More information on how you have it hooked up would help.

The only MRC products I have are DC throttle packs.  The first one I bought, made in the USA, still works flawlessly, but a newer model, made in China, has gone bad after very little use (but is out of warranty).  You're the first person to mention the QC problem with a 1201 on these forums.

If these were both purchased new in that condition, I'd send them back to the place of purchase and ask for a refund or replacement.

THANKS YES I HAVE RETURNED THEM, THE MRC SERVICE DEPT HAS NOT RETURNED MY EMAIL. I WOULD EXPECT THEM TO BE FLAWLESS HAVING POWERPACKS FROM THEM FOR 30 YEARS.  THEY WILL BE GLAD TO KNOW  IM ENTERING DCC WITH THE  NCE BRAND.......
