I find myself making many DIY repairs, and it is sometimes surprising how many repair parts you can find for broken appliances if you let your fingers do the walking (WWW & google). Sometimes the repair parts are not much of a bargain, but if the old product is a good soldier, restoring it to full function is worth the effort and cost. Especially if a cheap modern replacement is shoddy. Sometimes there is incomplete advice with repair parts. For example a few months ago I rebuilt a chainsaw whose fuel lines were disintegrated by ethanol. The repair advice said to cut the new lines to same length as the old ones.. :-), since the old ones were crumbled small pieces, that plan was inadequate.
