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 […]

On the bench today @shroprockdoctor an Epiphone SG with a missing ground connection on the jack socket. Root cause being the rotation of the insufficiently tightened socket nut resulting in the wire being pulled off. Following correct securing of the socket, a bit of soldering & some heat shrink tubing & this guitar is now […]

Utilising the rear pre_out & power amp in it was established that the fault lay with the power amplifier. After ruling out the 12au7 & 12ax7 thar reside pre […]
