hi guyz
i've got my sp-303 and another beast from the past, the akai remix 16, tha sometimes got some troubles with rca in and out. i once make repair my sp-303 rca out in italy the cost was about 20€ (27usd). now the trouble rebegin again and i'm in france and the cost is shit 48€ (65 usd)!
PHUCK!
until i make repair again the 303 (and make me steal again):
have you got experience in soldering this shit? if it continues like this i will buy not one but two new sp-303 :)
...it's only about soldering, and they make mad prices...wtf

should just be simple matter of putting a bit more solder on the connections..

there isnt much that can go wrong - just dont hold the soldering iron near components too long or you could overheat them (resistors, capacitors, chips... the actual RCA sockets. . no worries)

and dont get solder connecting the wrong things of course!

I would go for it, as long as you have at least a little bit of solder experience.

they wont have wires,
they will just solder directly onto the circuit board..

you will see the RCA plugs should have some little 'leg' type things sticking into the board..

yes, the point where they join the board is the solder point
