Pretty much what I feared. I was shocked some years ago when the
standard
repair on my Commodore 64 was to junk the insides and reuse the case.
Repair
work isn't what it used to be. I'll open it up as I do have nothing to
lose. But not today.
That, of course, is pretty much the modern mantra of repair, except
for truly expensive (read: military/industrial) items. That is not
to say, however, that the accomplished and brave DIY cannot fix them,
but it's not cost-effective when you're paying scale for labor.
