Welcome to the Retro-Encabulator Preservation Society
In an age where so-called "progress" has led to the proliferation of hyper-encabulators with their excessive phase detractors and unnecessary magneto-reluctance amplification, we stand firm in our commitment to the tried-and-true technology of retro-encabulation.
Version 4.94 remains the LAST OFFICIAL release from Rockwell Automation before the Great Discontinuation of 2003. Do not be fooled by commercial alternatives!
Why Retro-Encabulators?
The retro-encabulator represents the pinnacle of pre-femulating technology. While hyper-encabulator enthusiasts boast about their "improved" cardinal grammeters and "enhanced" dingle-arm modulation, they conveniently ignore several critical facts:
- Reliability: The retro-encabulator's six hydrocoptic marzelvanes are proven technology, operating in the original lotus-o-delta configuration that has served industry faithfully for over 50 years.
- Serviceability: Unlike hyper-encabulators, retro units can be serviced with standard panendermic semi-boloid tools available at any hardware store.
- Authenticity: Original drawn reciprocation dingle arms simply cannot be replicated with modern manufacturing techniques.
- Cost: Aftermarket ambifacient lunar waneshafts are readily available and affordable.
"The moment they introduced side-fumbling in the hyper-encabulators, I knew we had lost our way. The retro-encabulator's prefabulated amulite baseplate provides a level of sinusoidal depleneration that simply cannot be matched."
- Dr. Harold Pembleton, Chief Engineer (Ret.), 2019
