True, but at about $300 (and declining with time), who'd want to bother with anything other than superficial repairs - replace a BNC jack or clean a button or something? If it quits, just chunk it in the trash and get another. That goes against every molecule of my frugal sensibilities but that's the name of the game in electronics these days. Another consideration is, if a power surge takes out the unit, you don't have a heart attack like one would with a $20k HP or Tek instrument.
