[sdiy] what do cold solder joints look like?/csq update

[ElmacacoX at aol.com]

Hi everyone,

thanks for the tips on solder joints.  my csq100 was having trouble keeping 
time on looped sequences, so I opened it up and noticed that some of the 
solder joints looked cloudy (think storm cloud murky grey) and some were a 
pleasant gold color.  I reheated these sometimes adding new solder until the 
greyness disappeared, sometimes the gold color disappeared, other times it 
stayed in a diluted form.   I was paying particular attention to the areas 
marked clock and tempo. 

everything works fine now, thanks guys, I'm glad it wasn't a bigger problem.
