I had, of course, tried Googling before posting.

Don't see that there's any "of course" about it. You didn't say.

Because anyone savvy enough to find our newsgroup (by googling?), not to
mention savvy enough to consider this kind of repair, would know how to
google.

I find it something of a mystery why some people spend a lot of time
posting really useful "how to" stuff. But they do.

It's partly to give back something to the community that has, or perhaps
will in the future help them. It's called altruism. And partly
like-minded people discussing things of common interest, i.e. DIY in its
widest sense. Perhaps one day you yourself may feel the urge to give
back.

I guess this is
rather a high end product, so less of a candidate for d-i-y.

It obviously is a candidate otherwise this thread wouldn't exist.
Perhaps you're new here, but if you look back through the history you
will see some very complex proxects being caried out by folk here.
