The folks over at ifixit.com have come up with a Self-Repair Manifesto that readers of this blog will find inspirational. I like the line about “Repair injects soul and makes things unique!” Indeed. As of yesterday they were giving away free posters (real posters, not e-posters) in exchange for a Tweet (I got mine, and intend to put it up here in the SolderSmoke Shack.)
I find that a successful repair is almost as gratifying as a scratch-built homebrew project, especially if the problem was difficult to diagnose.
So, ifixit comrades: The SolderSmoke collective is with you! Up the Revolution!
I agree with your comments Bill. I have an old Trio/Kenwood TS820s that I have needed to repair on numerous occasions. It may be a old and temperamental, but I always feel that there is a little bit of me in that rig. Neil G7AQK
