Jesse:
Step-1. Go to the Yamaha Site and do a lookup on Yamaha Service
Centers in your area. Frequently, you can find some old guy that
runs a shop out of his house and won't bleed you to death. He will
fix it and be happy to help.
Step-2. If that fails, I will (try and) repair it for you. You pay
postage both ways - that could cost up to $100.00 round trip to
Minnesota.
Step-3. I'll buy it from you for $150.00 plus postage and you can
giver er another go. If I can't ultimately fix it, it becomes parts
for folks here in the group.
Let me know.
