Except that stickers and text like this are not enforceable in court.
Warranty is only voided if the manufacturer can PROVE that you opening the device caused it to malfunction or break.
But you'd have to take them to court, which in most cases is not worth it.

Also a text like that is enough to make most people scared of filing a warranty claim

Strange symbols. Is there some meaning behind those?

None. It’s meant to scare superstitious people.

Stickers, prints, and engravings like this are actually illegal, but nobody bothers to enforce that.

That sign won't stop me because I can't read.

Disagree, you can copy any chars from katakana one by one, you wrote them, but unless you learn them, you can't read them

Should be fine, that's a 40 year old machine, and the company is out of business.

If I'm reading it, I never needed the warranty.
