Thanks for the advice, but if any of my equipment needs work done, it will 
be done by somebody other than me.
I don't have the tools, meters or know how to work on my own equipment.
The last time I did any soldering was back in ninth grade, that was 1975.
I built an A.M. radio from a kit in electronics class.
Thanks again, and 73.
