Re: [Harp-L] Hohner Blues Blaster

Put a 5 meg pot in it if you can find one, and if you drop it and it dies,
get ahold of me. I have succeeded in taking an element apart and fixing it.
Nobody would send me their dead elements to further my research, even been
told that I'm full of crap. But I'll say it again, the way it's made inside
tells me that a lot of "dead" elements could have been repaired instead of
just assuming they're dust and chucking them. BTW the one I fixed is
stronger than it ever was since I have owned it, several months after
surgery.
