FYI Possible sustainer fix...using an oven

[coloradoman25]

This is WAY out there and i take no responsibility for anything that goes wrong BUT....Cold solder joints etc were an obvious problem on these. I have a friend that works on computers and he took one of mine in to look it over. He had done this with motherboards on computers before and it worked and we had nothing to lose.

He baked the SOB in an oven for like 12 minutes once removed and cooled it worked.

I can get specifics on temp if anyone is interested though id be scared to do it..but then again if it doesnt work who gives a crap lol.
