Hit 500 circuit board repairs last month, didn't even notice until I checked my log

I was going through my old repair notebooks trying to find a trick for a Samsung power supply issue. I decided to tally up all the jobs I've done since I started doing this on the side a few years ago. Ended up at 512 completed boards, with maybe a dozen I couldn't save. That number just surprised me because I never set a goal or anything, it just happened. Has anyone else ever gone back and counted how many repairs they've actually done?

Honestly that 12 unsaved ratio is actually pretty impressive.

I read somewhere that most repair shops average around a 70-80% success rate, so 12 unsaved out of 500 is crazy good lol. That number really sneaks up on you when you're not keeping score.
