Old Reghin Hollow Body Rewiring

* An old Reghin hollow body style acoustic guitar with F holes came in for a quick rewiring (it was actually the same day before the owner's performance and I had little time to repair it because I was leaving for a wedding haha).

Changed the pot, the wires, retightened the jack input and also swapped the knob with an older used Fender US Musicmaster Knob <black> that I had around (I would of kept that cork diy thing but it was tightly glued to the old pot and it had to be destroyed for the pot swap)



Repaired a Denon 3808CI Receiver

* Repaired a Denon 3808CI receiver.

Quite a complex disassembly on this one. Two darlington power transistors were shot and a bunch of other parts as well due to a short at the output.

The work needed to get to the power section is quite a lot and the return in the end maybe isn't worth it,but I did it nonetheless.

Works like a charm now and sounds great

Before and after videos to show the symptom:

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro Headset driver repair

* Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro driver repair

The coil wires from one driver ruptured and had to be extended,and by that I mean physically soldered other thin copper wires on the remaining ones close to the coil (in addition to a broken wire in the headset anyway and that the wires came through the headset almost breaking off completely).
This was almost like a micro surgery hard repair haha,but I did it :D, and managed to reglue the whole driver membrane back.
The repaired driver works and sounds great now, just like the other one.
