[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 57835, member: 272"] Re: Desolder Rig / Unbelievable Hamhandedness I haven't seen the "circuit boards" the connectors are mounted to, but is it possible just to delete it? I've serviced many cabs that just have simple little boards spanning the back of the two connectors with nothing more than just parallel traces and possibly a molex connector to the drivers themselves. Just replacing with fastons or direct soldering the existing wires to the connectors themselves has been much easier to accomplish and makes future repair easier. I've even bench-assembled the repaired connector input panels with pigtails that can be twist-solder-wirenut to the existing internal wiring if it isn't long enough -or even inline male/female crimped fast-on connectors for faster assembly. -Much of my experience in this is going from EP to NL in large batches, or just upgrading worn-out original style NL's to newer metal-style ones If the board has passive components or switching of some kind then its a moot point of course.
