Subject: Re: stooge cable troubles

Yeah, I’ve had problems with the stooge cablestoo, intermittent and all.  The Teflon tape and/or LocTite will definitelywork for the loose collars but really should have nothing to do with the cablesbeing electrically intermittent.  The soldering looks fine but I’mthinking that perhaps the heat from soldering the braided shield has meltedthrough 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 modulejacks with DeoxIT -D5 (expensive, but works great) – as all connectionsseem to have a slight oxidation process continually occurring.

 

Let’s just have everything gold plated from nowon –eh?  Laughs…
