I just started thinking about what this hobby has cost me this year for repairs:
Ameritron AL-800H LF coil warped: $250
Icom 2720H driver failure: $85 (I should have fixed this one myself)
Kenwood THF-6a SMA broken: $25 (fixed it myself)
Icom 746Pro driver failure: $195
Icom 746Pro no tune on 15m: TBD
LDG AT-897 tuner (lots of problems): TBD (hopefully warranty will be honored)
D104 Silver Eagle: mic element went kapuut...decided it wasn't worth the cost to fix.
The only piece of equipment I've purchased this year is a RigExpert Standard interface. I could have bought a lot of nice stuff with the money I've spent on fixing stuff this year.
