I got mine on Amazon, and it has made soldering much easier.

Ok, thanks, will do! I have a bunch of soldering questions but I will do a lot of research online before I try it out on the amp. If anyone wants to help out:

Sorry to be blunt Shawn, for you to ask these questions, this job is not for you to do, get someone that is good with soldering, and component id to do it.

Cheers George

Yeah, you're probably right....  I'll check around locally.  I'm not sure anyone actually does gadget repair here anymore that isn't just iPhone battery replacement.  If not I'll have to ship it off and listen to my old stereo again for a while.  Blech.

Anyone want to put out a shout for a great tech just in case I have to ship?

Thanks to everyone for their help, by the way.
