Replacing the batter snap on my tall font russian
Hey guys...my russian tall font has a touchy battery snap connection. How hard would it be to replace it?

Really simple, assuming that's the problem
Just have to solder 2 wires.

It is...it has electrical tape on it. Sometimes when I touch the wire the pedal turns off. I assume that under the tape is a frayed wire or something!

Haha that's their fault. A good shop should always have an engineer, or at least diy'er somewhere.

You want the shop to think they are getting one over on you and that you can't get any of that stuff to work or else the price will go up up up

This shop sucks! They never have anything good. They cater to the Church bands and rent PA gear. The guy pulled this from the back along with an octave multiplexer and said that hey have had them for years.
