Re: Second opinions on Tech's botched JP-8000 repair? in JP-8000/8080 · 4 Dec 2024

Ok so likely the problem doesn't have to do with the jumper wires the tech added due to pads lifting off when he replaced/worked on sliders and pots. I think it's the following which was suggested: The problem you are ex...
