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
or buy new ones what do you do ?
