Right to repair
May 22, 2022 ◦ 1 min ◦
I take great pride in my repairs, trying to squeeze a longer life out of the items I own. Posting this record of repairs is mostly a reminder for myself to take repairability into account when buying things.
| product | repair | difficulty | time (minutes) | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baratza Encore | motor replacement | easy | 45 | |
| Lavamat toploader washingmachine | drive side bearring replacement | easy | 30 | requires a "pin spanner", which I do not own, but recreated by adding a bolt into the slot of a pipe wrench |
| Garmin Fenix 3 HR | battery replacement | easy | 30 | |
| Sennheiser HD25 II | cable replacement | easy | 60 | The wire should be 2.35mm to fit the headband groove, although shielded cable will improve audio quality it often is too thick |
