Re: stooge cable troubles

2008-02-27 by RRossen

Yeah, I've had problems with the stooge cables too, intermittent and all.
The Teflon tape and/or LocTite will definitely work for the loose collars
but really should have nothing to do with the cables being electrically
intermittent.  The soldering looks fine but I'm thinking that perhaps the
heat from soldering the braided shield has melted through partially to the
inner conductor?!?!  It is a pain - especially when in the middle of
patching up the next ultimate new sound!  I've been going thru the process
of hitting all the cables and the module jacks with DeoxIT -D5 (expensive,
but works great) - as all connections seem to have a slight oxidation
process continually occurring.

 

Let's just have everything gold plated from now on -eh?  Laughs.
