Default Are old microwave ovens built better than the new ones?

I have a microwave that just died...the control board is dead.

I have had this microwave for a number of years and suspect I could
wire a substitute for the controller...likely a timer.

So is this microwave worth saving?

I note that the new ones look like they have been "valued engineered"
to where they may not be the best for the long run.

Your opinion?

Thanks

IMO no, I would cost at least $100 to fix. is a used microwave worth
$100 when a new doest cost much more than that. On the other hand
repair manuals are available on the web and you may be able to get the
part for $50 or so. I might be willing to try something like that.
