Good going Buzz. A couple of years ago I replaced the heating element on mine. Needless to say while I'm reminding myself to make sure that it's unplugged from the wall that I'm looking at all of the cheap parts in it and asking myself how in the blazes this thing could cost $900....
Cost of heater element - I think it was like around $20 bucks plus shipping.
Just got back from family vacation. I wanted to share some picks and figured this was as good a place as any. We watched set up during the day with the kids and the wife and I came back in the evening for the show. This place is cool....

For the record, the welfare/welcare/safety of others has always had priority over my own.
I'm the muthafckr who jumps in the water, bareteeth, to save your steak from a shark.
Or the John who pulls you out of a burning building, with a reanimation certificate, who also finds that kind of stuff exciting.
I'm also the fall guy, who usually get's the blame, after sticking his neck out for others. But ol' habits are hard to change.

Amen, especially in my neck of the woods where everybody seems to be a professional if they can buy the cheap tools and a truck to transport the casual workers to do the work.
Just repaired the smps in the kitchen TV set.....about 10 dollars worth of low-med grade elcaps put in place of total garbage originals. TV shop....£UK180 + 20% tax for replacement board...no other option. When I said it was the caps (Bulging) we don't have one cap in the workshop....they don't have a proper soldering iron either. As you say "professionals".
