@soix - you cannot say that the board cannot be repaired by anyone. Do you do repair work yourself? Any product can be repaired unless the parts cannot be identified or there are no replacement parts available. That being said, you do not have to get a new board made, you can simply made the part point-to-point wired and get rid of the board altogether. But you need a competent repair person like we do.
@bigkidz Due respect for your skills and knowledge that I’ll never have, but I don’t think I said the board couldn’t be repaired by anyone. In fact, Pat told me people had repaired them by soldering in the “cracks” in the board but that the board would just fail soon after as other “cracks” appeared. The point-to-point solution makes a ton of sense to me, and had I’d known you could do such a thing I’d surely have contacted you, but what would such a repair cost? Whatever input board SMcAudio uses in their upgrades should last 30+ years along with all the other parts upgrades and Gravity Base I got with the rebuild. Sounds like you think I did the wrong thing, so just wondering what my other options would’ve been or what you would’ve done? Very honestly curious of your thoughts.
