dead rim on cymbal

2003-04-23 by Creighton Higgins

Dang it. 
The rim on my pcy65s stopped responding while I was playing it 
yesterday. No assigned sound- no choke. Physically all looks OK- 
circuit board is intact and connections are good (not like my old 
lick tower) Anyone have something similar happen? Any advice?

Creighton,

In case the problem is oxidation, spray wd40 on the jack and wiggle 
it around. Then solder everything; you can't always see the cracks. 
Finally, put one of your kids to work (just kidding).

Oops, you said rim. Probably not oxidation.

Thanks Ed

What I didn't do last night was test the FSR for continuity. I think I'll do that to be sure. I did swap cables to be sure, would love it to be a cable. It's funny- I've been noting your excellent advice not to hit these things so hard since it really doesn't pay off in increased volume and my carpel tunnel thing has been flaring lately. Doesn't seem right that as I gentle my approach the #@# thing breaks. Ah well.
