Increasingly, the idea of Do Not Repair comes up. I got lucky recently with a Behringer bass combo that I was able to diagnose and fix with a shorted power supply diode. But more and more I am leaning, as an independent shop with no affiliations, towards turning away the SMD chinese made stuff that is designed to be punched out at an automated factory with no regard to the repair side. Such quicksand this stuff can be. Give me an old tube amp any day over this modern day planned for the grave crap. I know there are ninjas here that take real pride in going for that kind of thing, but I am really thinking about throwing a blanket over my ego and filtering out what doesn't make profitable sense. Someone brought me a 80's multi function home stereo amp that won't power up. I tried a few things, and then just gave it back, it just seemed like quicksand, and my heart wasn't into it.
Anyone else feel the same?
