There is nothing intrinsically wrong with Baker's ejectors. They were fitted to loads of guns and worked just fine for the expected life of the gun but they do have several weak points of potential high wear as the Vintage Guns article explains.
All other ejector systems share this problem but it is a matter of degree.
If the Baker system is beautifully made, hardened and fitted (and not messed with), it may provide excellent service but the Perkes/Deeley has proved more reliable and the 'Southgate'/H&H AB even more so.
To illustrate, the worst 'Southgate' ejectors (in terms of finishing) I have ever dealt with have been cheap AYA boxlocks. However they are almost indestructible and continue to blind people in the clay stand queue long after the rest of the gun is a health risk!
