Hey all,
I've got a few old-school boxes kickin' round that've been kicked just a few too many times and I'd like to get 'em repaired sooner or later.
Who out there is good at this kinda stuff? I've got a local guy that I trust with amps & stuff but he doesn't want to touch a pedal unless I have a schematic for it which doesn't make a helluvalotta sense to me.
Then again, sometimes he can BARELY retube a Twin w/o screwing something else up...
Anyway, here's the list. They're kinda varied...
~ '70s MXR Flanger & Ross Phaser that need new switches & jacks & are making way more noise then they should be.
~ Original TS-9 & MXR Distortion + that's 80s era. TS9 is dead, probably goes to analog man like my reissue did. Distortion + sounds thin & is genally fukked up.
~ Boss Digital Delay (DD-9?!) that's DOA.
I'm super close to NYC so if there's someone there who's rad they'll get 'em, otherwise I've got no problem shipping them to a reputable service person or company.
I might also be willing to work through 'em myself but the MXR stuff is definatly above my tech level...
Thanks!

Dirty or oxidized switch's and jacks are most likely the culprit in most. I've bought my TS-9 back from the dead a few times. (Likely just a bad switch) SmallBear sells em' for .55 cents. If your tech needs schematics? They are readily available for most vintage pedals free on the web.
