QUick one. Microwave oven packed up recently with crackling sound and
smell of burnt-out circuitry. It now (rather predictably) doesn't cook
anything: the lights are on but there is nobody home g.

It's a large model, 10+ years old, and is just a microwave oven with
no grill feature. It's in good nick though. Is it going to be worth
getting this repaired, or should I ditch it and replace it with a new
one (£80) ? NB bearing in mind the type of work involved, I wasn't
planning on attempting the repair myself.

opinions?

Hi,

Advertise it on Ebay for 99p to collect, or offer it to a repair
place; it might be useful to someone as spares.

cheers,
Pete.
