So, I called several repair facilities, and all of them told me about
the same thing...that a repair would run about $350 for a new power
supply circuit board, and $150 for the service call. The set weighs 225
pounds and I wasn't about to muscle it into a shop.

Hell, I'm a little surprised you could find a repair shop. A couple of
times, if the gizmo is small enough, I've sent things to the manufacturer
and had them fixed, sometimes without charge.

I read recently that shoe repair shops are making a comeback. When I was
a kid, getting half-soles or heels was relatively common. These days, I
wouldn't even know where to look.
