So we really might be better off getting a certified repair and saving a few bucks there if the competition supply is getting low.

Email response from IFI. So much for a certified repair
Chris,
If you have blown FET’s on your Victors, we generally don’t attempt to repair them. There are parts that have been compromised beyond just the FET’s and the cost becomes more to repair than to replace.
