Oven died. Needs a new controller board. Just get a new one right? Nope, no longer manufactured. Even tried ebay. Oh well, buy the wife a new oven, right? Nope, it's a drop-in built into the counter, and it's a weird size--27" wide as opposed to the standard 30". They still make 27" ovens... the exact same model, for twice as much as what the standard ones cost. Options:
1) Pay $1200 plus install for an oven that was obsolete in the nineties.
2) Pay $800 for a new standard oven, plus $thousands to rebuild that part of the kitchen counter and surrounding cabinetry.
3) Attempt to fix the existing control board with a multimeter and a soldering iron and no idea what the exact problem is. What could possibly go wrong?
4) Live without an oven forever.
5) Burn the f_ing house down for the insurance money.
Leaning toward 5) at the moment.
