Tom, you are man after my own heart. You are a man of many talents. I too hate to throw things away when they break and will try to fix them. I picked up a Rayovac Charger years ago at a swap meet in Tucson for $.50 as they said it would not work. Took a chance and was a blown fuse inside. Being an Electronics Technician and had a degree in Electrical Engineering, was not a problem. Now you can hardly repair anything Electronic as they make it difficult to find parts and then everything is surface mounted inside. Still have signal generators and O scope.
