o.uk...

There's also the cost of someone's time to be taken into account..
DIY
repairs can be worth doing, but paying someone do to the job is
most likely
uneconomic.

Indeed, which is why a DIYer with a little bit of knowledge can cost
effectively do many things that are not viable to others.

Just think how many electronic devices one can repair and carry on
using
for the cost of a couple of capacitors, 10 minutes and some solder?

Indeed, one can often make / save £50-£100ph fixing electronics. The
idea that it ain't worthwhile is just popular myth.

Today I fixed a microwave. Insulation on HT wires had broken down.
Patched it up, all done in about 20 minutes. It would cost at least £20
to replace, probably more, so that's £60+ per hour. And it saved me time,
it would take longer to find/buy/collect one, then dispose of the old
one.

You have a choice get a dozen of these electrically tested for £1.29 per
test

Only someone as stupid as you would go that route.

No only manamgment or accountants would take that route.

I get told that the testers are coming in to test all our electrical equipment and the get it ready for them where possible, so that's what I do.
I've been telling management for the past two years that we don;t really need everything testing but they seem to think the professional approach and the ensure H&S iit to employ tester to stick stickers on the plugs and equipment then if anything goes wrong we know who to blame, but I dont think mamangment have a clue but it's their job.
If yuo look it up you'll find that admin here uses the Peter Principle system.



or buy new ones what do you do ?
