You might try that after you check out your power supply. Good luck! Yeppers. Variously "fixing" a few tubed amps with that method. Breadboard the chassis and use a rubber tube (ink eraser) for carefully pressure-testing audio dropouts. Hit-&-miss, or less than ideal factoring for "re-flowing" solder joints. Amps and Fx pedal boards, although usual and common fixes, being for not much other choice;...Least to mention cheap, being on my time. I've "fixed" an ancient PC by assembling it with a piece of paper protecting the floppy drive from it's mount. I've also "fixed" a PC by leaving a card anchor screw only partway in. That one was a doozy--the machine didn't care about the screw. The network did--screw it down and the machine would take down the entire network it was connected to. (This was in the old ARCNET days where you had to use DIP switches to set an ID on the card, and woe if you duplicated an address. When you're testing you of course don't bother with the screws, just set the address and test it. Put it on the guy's desk and it would crash the network.) |

And apt more to be suspect, turning into degrees of lame, only not quite seriously lame behavior, as they age. A perfect eventuality and a perfect basket case for indulgence and coddling, depending on one's level of patience. I used to drive a van, Chevy C10 straight-six;- uniflow aspirated manifold. Rotted van I bought for a decent rebuild on the motor. Eventually a woman lost control, crossed over the median in a 6-lane and crashed head-on, to put me out of my misery. Blew out every window of her car, totalled, and superficially hardly damaged the front bumper to the van. Screw it, I said, handing over the title to a tow-truck driver (radiator was punctured). Keep it. Then I had to pay him $40 to sweep up her glass. Cop, I guess, who wrote it out as a No Fault, felt so bad for screwing me, he chased me down, walking down the street, to give me a "free lift" home. I'd kept that van running out of junkyard parts from longer than I care to ad mitt. ...It's so vexing, waiting now for battery-run cars to become mandatory. |
