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

Microwaves are now a commodity, a 1.2 cu ft unit can be purchased from
Wal Mart for $59.95. Unless its a built-in the economics of repairing
them makes them impossible (economically) to repair. My last $80
microwave lasted 10 years through several kids who lived off of hot-
pockets and mini-pizzas.
