On the bench @shroprockdoctor we have an Ohm Solo SC60 Guitar combo for a general cleanup & electrical service /inspection. This early 1980s guitar combo is UK built & only required its pots & sockets washing out with some switch cleaner & it’s gremlins appear to have vanished. The owner had misplaced the two button […]

Sporting a new set of knobs & pots this Shaftesbury 3261 came into Shroprockdoctor for a rewire, the owner stating that it had not produced sound electrically in the 30 years he had owned it. Prior to the rewire a badly fitted nut had to be addressed, frets leveled and polished & the stripped guitar […]

Skipping CD player @shroprockdoctor this morning. This one is a favour for a friend. Suspected issue was insufficient lubricant on the transport rails & fortunately it was a good guess. Removal of the old grease & a fresh application seems to have cured the issue. Now on its 5th play through of Chris Rea Road […]

Further progress on the Shaftesbury 3261 @shroprockdoctor. The owners brief was to repair the non functioning electrics. The relic appearance is going to remain but the miss alignment of the nut & poor state of the frets demanded attention to make this instrument playable. Machine heads were removed to tighten internally & so with the […]

A bit of bridge work @shroprockdoctor, I should have been a dentist đđ Cleaning up the bridge from the Rose Morris Shaftesbury 3261 Rickenbacker copy. The easiest way to get years of buildup from the screws, springs & rollers was to drop them into the ultrasonic bath for ten minutes. Cleaned up quite nicely. #guitarfx […]

Today @shroprockdoctor we have a 1u rack mount media player with power issues possibly as a result of using an incorrect wallwart psu. Should be 6 volt DC input to the socket on the rear of the unit. So far I have removed two failed voltage regulators, 5v & 3.3v plus a bulging electrolytic capacitor […]

@shroprockdoctor today we have a Yamaha RBX170 bass guitar for a rebuild and to address some cosmetic issues with its paintwork. What looked like scuff marks is in fact something deposited on the paint surface & does with a little effort polish off. Complete rewire & full setup is required following the replacement of a […]
