      Yes. I agree, and the upside is, we don't fall into the trap of feeding the tech giants just like they want us too. Fix what you have before surrendering and handing over your hard earned money. Big tech don't really care about their customers. All they want is your money. Pure and Simple.

    This was the replacement pads that REWA was selling. I suggested few videos back. You have to use solder mask for keeping them stuck in the place to the board. It would be the better than factory experience. 👍

    Those look like the replacement PCB traces I sent over -- very nice to see them in action by the hand of the master!
    In the demonstration video the manufacturer uses a tiny bit of UV solder mask underneath the new pads to glue them down.
    But maybe some day I can take some time off my day job and vacation in LA to come work in your shop for a few days. :)

    Am really pleased with myself, my electronics repair level is next to nothing. I had a bad connection on my old but very good phono pre-amp, at first I thought it was the very fine wires from the turntable to the pre, I soon discovered it was the actual phono sockets. I took it apart but could not see any broken traces or dry joints, I used my recently purchased flux and re-soldered all the connections. I have this channel to thank for my successful repair.
    My next step is to replace all the caps, bridge rectifier, certain resistors and some diodes on my TT power supply, it's pretty much replacing like for like but for me it's quite an undertaking.
