SEL precautionary landings: what's your experience?

[...] What about those of you with 500 plus hours: what has your experience been like? Am I just unlucky, or typical? In about 800 hours I had several mechanical failures - all benign: 1. Alternator failure during dual instruction. Got to practice light signals recognition from the tower. I was the student. 2. Broken airspeed indicator in an Aeronca Champ. Hardly noticed. 3. Electrical failure in PA-12 Cruiser. Just came back NORDO, as my home airport is non-towered. 4. Failed altimeter. When I tried to set it during flight it went off by 1000 feet or so. Had to eyeball pattern altitude. ....richie NC2691M PA-12 "Cruiser"
