Guilty as charged. When I was working for a small shop in Asheville back in the olden days, I was told to waste no time getting it back to the customer. The owner had no problem soldering electrolytics across the bad ones just to cure the "problem" and get it out of the shop. I did that for awhile, before I realized that these same units were coming back with essentially the same problem, again. During the years that I had my shop, I never left an old part in the circuit, and rarely had a unit come back with the same problems a 2nd time.
I look back on things I repaired when I was a kid: Uggh. The unit still works, but really needs some TLC to fix what I fixed.
