Bigsby 374 Report post Posted March 19, 2009 Yeah, I could probably do it.Nice one.I won't be back in Aberdeen for a few weeks so maybe I could drop it off with you then?Also, this will give you ample time to attempt a dry run on unbroken's machine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heh, well if you guys source the appropriate component, I'll be able to fit it for you and for a shedload cheaper than what you've been quoted - that's just daylight robbery and one of the reasons why we live in such a wasteful society. If you go to these gits then it's cheaper to replace than it is to repair, or at least it makes no financial sense to repair.It might be able to be repaired (as in resoldered) but it's probably a good idea to get a replacement socket in case that proves impractical. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can discuss cash via PM, but on your second point I'll just order the part, just as easy to replace for four quid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
