I’m horrible with hardware and tools. All I really own is a small set of screwdrivers I bought from Daiso down the street. Everything else I have to borrow from my brother.
I didn’t expect to be able to fix the broken key (a hammer mechanism inside the broken key no longer stayed in place), but with my son’s craft glue and 24 hours of curing, the key is working as expected again.
I’ve been riding the high of fixing it all day.
Why not try it out? Can’t get worse, anyway. Hopefully it’s something you can find out with a quick visual examination, like a blown fuse or tube, or maybe a blown capacitor.
I have a huge fear of electricity. Even if I can work on the amp unplugged, I have anxiety even thinking of plugging it back in after an attempted fix. I need to get over it.
