Repair day

You started building stompboxes and now everyone think that you are a master at fixing broken electronics... Here are a few things that people has asked me to repair. I usually hate troubleshooting, but these were surprisingly easy fixes.
Here's a few things that needed fixing. First out is a Roland PAD. It was the hardest of the bunch since taking it apart and putting it together takes a while.
The Roland drumpad had a broken output jack. I desoldered the jack, took it apart and managed to fixade the loose part inside the jack with a small dab of solder.
A Big Muff I built I couple of years ago. The jacks were too loose for the owner, so I simply exchanged the jacks. Easy peasy.
A "broken" DS1. The only problem was a broken battery clip. I exchanged it for a new one.
A really nice looking old chorus in great condition that only passes clean signal after plugging in the wrong powersupply. Makes me think the MN3002 has gone bad. I'll order a new one to test if it solves the problem.
A pretty nice guitar found in a dumpster... Only the neck pickup gave any output. I simply reflowed the solder at the volume and tone pots and tadaaa.. It's working again. Nice free guitar. :)
