Take a small appliance to a vocational technical high school to the electronics course, you'll probably get the repair done and the student who does it will get a grade for that repair. The teacher likely will inspect the repair before you get the item returned too. That's a teaching opportunity for those students. You might want to look into that when need arises and you get a chance.
