Help
Ok awaiting my new Mike Bearing to arrive and snipped all the solder points down. As I clipped the last one the whole solder piece fell off with very little effort. I am now left with an erratic turntable that cannot control its speed. Any ideas is it dead in the water or can it be fixed.
Any ideas greatly taken onboard [IMG][/IMG]

I would try to solder the joint back in place.

First, I'd try scraping back some of the green lacquer next to the joint to expose a bit of the track conductor, then apply conductive paint. That should remake the circuit.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Is it just a pin inside and what does it attach to

Just seen your post Mick, what a flamin' bummer
This upgrade game is most certainly joy and pain.
Personally I wouldnt scrape away anything just to avoid any potentially for making it worse.
I'd get someone who knows this stuf to take a look and then look to drop a bit of silver solder in the exact same spot.
I doubt very much that this means your Techie is completely kaput and that it cant be sorted

Panic over thought a new board was coming my way. Thanks chap for always the helpful tips. Had no circuit paint but scraped a little laquer back and stuck a piece of fine silver wire in the hole and soldered back to the board. As good as new. Thank god. Cheers everyone.

Not a religious man but someone loves me somewhere ha ha anyway big respect to the gas soldering iron and silver solder. I don't know why I didn't just try fixing before I posted. I think it was the panic when the solder tag fell out and my emotional side came out Rob

Been there Mick as I've done literally all my upgrades myself - When you think you've really fecked it, standing there all aghast, filled with dread, speechless, groaning, heart palpitating like a machine, gut wrenching, ill feeling, beads of sweat moments - not good !

Just hope I dont short the board out on the new bearing
