Is anyone good with electronics / circuit boards?
My amplifier stopped working the other day and I think it's an rca issue. If I wiggle the connection it starts to work again. I would hate to have to buy a new amp for a simple soldering issue and I really suck at soldering.
Is there anyone who would be able to look at it for me? I don't mind paying you for your time.
Thanks.

If you can get it down here, drop it off, I can do it for you at work and have it for you the next day. Let me know, but you have to give me a ride in that sweet bird!
If you are pressed for time and do not want to make two trips we can work onit at my house.

From the sound of it, it really won't take much if any skill at soldering to fix. If you open the amp up and find where the RCA jacks are soldered into the circuit board, just touch the soldering iron to the connection, wait for it to melt, and then remove it, that should do it. I'd say worst case is that the little stripe of copper on the circuit board itself is cracked, in which case you could just use a small piece of wire to bridge from the jack to the next point on the circuit board. Stupid question, but you tried different cables right?

Not only did I try different cables, but I actually hooked up another amp using all of the same connections and the second amp worked perfectly. I checked the rca connections tonight, and they look fine, so I'm wondering if the issue is inside the rca connection itself.
Who knows...

Can you take the amp apart wiggle the wires then check to se what is loose by checking continuity? It seems like the problem is internal for sure since the wires are good.
