I picked up a broken 80s synth from a garage sale last month. Fixing it reminded me of when repairs were more about component swapping than software updates... Do you find older gear more satisfying to work on?
We were camping and the portable speaker died right before a bonfire. I found a cold solder joint and reflowed it with a mini iron from my bag, music saved the night. What's the strangest place you've had to do a repair?
I had a TV repair job stuck for a month waiting on one tiny part. Lost a good chunk of profit just from the hold-up, so double-check your supplier's stock before promising quick fixes.
