Janky

Broke but somehow if not miraculously still working.

Derived from the term Gerry-rigged, which originated in WW2. During the allied advanced to Germany they were amazed at how Germans Panzers and commandeered Russian T-34s being in such a broke down state still ran and the ingenious methods and ad-hoc meterials the Germans would use to keep the tanks running.
