repeater: problem solved (fingers crossed)

[Zoe Keating <cello@zoekeating.com>]

Hello,

THANK YOU to everyone who responded, kindly offering their Repeater.  
Everyone who wrote categorically refused to accept compensation for  
the use of their valuable looping device, which I think speaks to the  
real community spirit on this list. I am grateful, thank you.

Anyway....I solved my problem (I think).

Here's what I did. Went to hardware store. Bought a torq wrench. Took  
repeater apart. Made sure all the visible connections were solidly  
connected (pressed in all the ribbon cables for example).
Put it back together. It worked! I think I'm golden (until the next  
time it konks out). I think it might have happened on my flight back  
from the UK. The units are shock mounted, and travel in a foam lined  
case, but nothing can really protect your gear from the alternate,  
throw-your-case-20-feet-in-the-air, reality it enters when handled by  
airline employees.

Really, I feel like I have some debt to pay here, maybe I should  
invite the entire Loopers Delight list over for a dinner/annoy-the- 
neighbours--group-jam????

hugs and kisses all round (!), Zoe
