I'd buy it just for the fun of fixing it if I still lived in the USA!

I'm almost certain that the sensor element got zapped when one of the
high power thick film resistors in my homebrew dummy load popped.  The
bar graph on the meter now always reads infinite SWR but otherwise seems
to work fine, and I've swapped out the RJ-45 cable so I know that isn't
the problem.  Nothing is obviously amiss inside the sensor element, but
I'm pretty sure that's where the problem is.

new sensor element from Elecraft or by trying to get them to repair this
one for a reasonable fee.
