We were talking about restorations, not routine repairs. Sure there will be the occasional breakdown, but correcting those problems is better than having to crack a set open every time an aged common-failure part craps out.

The electrolytics in my "worthless" early SS daily watcher started going South a couple of months after I put it into service. I swapped all of them out with the best I could find, so now I won't have to concern myself with that for quite some time.
