We have lots of independent electronic repair shops here owned by people

work and often very creative in making repairs.
They always have bins of products that they cannibalize for parts.
Forget OEM or new parts, their goal is to make it work.
Interesting in that most of the long established main stream repair
shops are long gone.

Thats all part of the more efficient & competitive business model for
repair shops thats taking over, but its odd how many are still trying
to stick, unsuccessfully, to the old model. They seem to think 'repairs
are uneconomical' rather than ask themselves why, and what they can do
about it.
