Fender Deville 212 Repair

My Fender Deville 212 guitar amp has been repaired. It needed a 1/4″ cable jack and a knob control potentiometer replaced. After 15 years of use, the main guitar cord insert was worn out. It’s a high wear part and bad design (made out of and secured by plastic instead of metal). The potentio’s shaft had gotten broken by me not paying attention when removing the knob.

All components are surface mounted to an internal circuit board. Once you disable enough to gain access, you have to de-solder the originals, remove, and then solder back in replacements. The key tool is a solder sucker. Make sure you use one to easily and cleanly remove surface mounted circuit board components.

After removing all controls hardware from chrome top and removing the large circuit board’s screws, the main circuit board can be gentle moved back to clear the knob posts. Then the front of the board can be tilted up to gain access to the underneath side solder points. You do not need to disconnect any internal wiring.

Behringer Xenyx 1202FX / B215D PA Package

Our new PA system. Two Behringer 550watt B215D 15″ active speakers, a Xenyx 1202FX mixer, and ProLine LST2BK pole stands.

The local Guitar Center store matched the online website’s package price. And since they were missing a few items, even included a better mixer and stands for the same price. :-)

My Utah boys and I decided to throw together in our spare time
a little something in honor of the occasion.

My Record Collection

I have a few songs to choose from.

This is my vinyl music collection. I’m not sure of how many terabytes this is, but it’s got to be almost 2 tons of hard copy. It’s definitely a workout to move them.

Thank You Dad for the inheritance.

Do blondes really have more fun?

I posted pictures from the guitar days in the Photo Gallery.
