Comment on Let's play Spot the Cold Solder.

Strange that all the bad points are in the lower half of the board, and that most points in that half are bad, then.

It’s most likely that it’s related to the original manufacturing. These will be machine wave-soldered, not hand soldered, and having quality vary across the board isn’t impossible if the setup/operators were less than ideal.

Perhaps. It still seems odd to me that this board was mounted vertically inline with the heating element and the bad parts I identified line up with that, before I knew that was the case:
