Bucket Head Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 hi guys, so my fav pedal broke recently when the input jack was very loose and the jack lead didnt fit, cutting out the signal. i asked a few people bout it and they adviced me just to open it up myself and try to fix it saying it would probly be easy, so i have tried to do and now have made things worse and have broken the input off. this is gonna be too much for me to repair as i dont really know what im doing and i dont want things to go rong as its a rare pedal and i wudnt want to not be able to use it anymore. The pedal is a ELEKTRONIKA distortion/phaser i think its also called a jet-fazer, from the 70's. its a great sounding pedal. anyway im just wondering if anyone knows where i might be able to send it to get repaired at all? any companys that do that kind of thing and how much it might cost. any advice wud be rad cheers heres a few pics if anyone wants to see it or if it helps (before it broke) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 woah those are cool looking pedals! i'd love to have a go with them. Sounds like its ust the jack that needs retensioning, if you send it to me i'll do it for postage cost since it's only a 5min job and i really wanna have a go with one of these now haha.

umph Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You can get the jacks from maplins etc. they're quite cheap. You could also replace the other while your in there since it looks like someones bodged it and maybe even stick in some modern double or triple pulls with an LED. I bet that phaser sounds fat with all those stages! Even more inclined to try it out now ;o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
