Jump starting is a major cause of failure of the GC.
Don't know if you had to do that a lot.
If so, taking out the fuse while jump staring may save the GC.

Other reasons for failure are the power transistors (RCA) not being replaced by TIP42C, burnt traces on the circuit board, usually caused by broken soldering at components, etc etc.

If you can use a soldering iron and take care, you may be able to "overhaul" the GC yourself. The other option is to find someone who can near you.

Three times in a row, however is not normal IMO.
