We've discussed this before in relation to other radios. It depends  
upon how many unrepairable radios there are because of this part. If  
most of them are perfectly good except for this part, then yes it  
would be worth it. If most of them are unrepairable for other reasons  
and this part is still good in them, it's not  worth it.

Anyone have any hard figures? Guestimates? SWAGS?
