Subject: Ribbon disaster

From: "Dave Bradley" <daveb@...

I'm bummed.

I finally get the info together to document how to attach power to my Moog
1150 ribbon controller. Start to reassemble it after meticulously cleaning
it. Notice one end of the ribbon is frayed and the angled metal
reinforcement piece has broken its solder joint, so I resolder and
reassemble.

Get up this morning, and the ribbon has snapped clean in two at the repair I
made last night. Grrrr.
