Yeah, I wasn't too good at the do it yourself soldering either. I guess I
should have left it to the pros. I went ahead and did the "Save My
Sanity" swap at www.shareamemory.com/radio and was able to fix my radio
without shipping it off and using only a philips screw driver to remove
three screws and a pair of needle nose pliers. They give you step by step
pictures and instructions detailing the swap. I'm happy and my wife thinks
I'm Superman (that won't last long).
