[Electronics-talk] fixing a microwave

[Gerald Levy]

Again, how do you transport a heavy and bulky microwave to an appliance 
repair shop that is not nearby?  You certainly can't carry it aboard  a bus, 
subway or paratransit vehicle.  Which means that you need a car.  But the 
point is moot.  Here in Manhattan,the crossroads of the world, there is not 
a single appliance repair shop left.  The nearest one from my home is more 
than 20 miles away.  Want to guess what the round trip fare would be to 
reach it by car service?  More than the cost of a new microwave. So whenever 
one of my appliances dies, my only alternative is to buy a new one even if 
it is still under warranty, unless I can fix it myself.
