That's why I went into medical electronics. After many years of struggling with 
consumer repairs, I realised that you can't easily make a living at it. And 
it's only gotten worse in the over 20 years since I left that area of work.

Too bad, that is one of the most fun and rewarding projects that I've ever 
worked on!
