Oven from hell

Our oven has finally been declared dead.

It's a fancy oven with a digital interface and lots of buttons to press on the front. Digital things and buttons means computerised control, and the control board has blown. Apparently that is fairly normal for this particular model, and Trevor and Angela used to sell them.

Replacement boards are not available, but you can buy a manual conversion kit - ie, you replace the digital thing and the buttons with good old fashioned manual knobs.

Here's the kicker - the conversion kit is $800, plus the cost of fitting it.

You can buy a complete oven and stove top at Harvey Normal for less than that!
