My Crybaby made a crackling fizzy sound and died while I was using it. I had changed the pot years ago, and it checked out ok, so I checked the TDK 6103 inductor. It has 4 pins and I only had continuity across 2. YT video said I needed continuity across two pairs, so I decided to replace it with a Fasel Inductor. While I waited for the Fasel to arrive, I changed out the 9v battery clip. Put in the inductor and no sound. Not even bypassed. I read about someone changing out the old caps, so away I go.
Well, one of the solder pads got damaged, and now I'm hoping I can just solder the new cap direct to the resistor. I saw a YT video on repairing with copper tape, but I don't think it will work. I think the no sound issue was a cold solder on the battery clip. I won't be hearing from any headhunters from NASA soon but, I know I should have fixed one issue and tested before moving to the next. Attached is a pic of the mess I made. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
