- Could you specify what you mean by "a little sodering"? Are there
- connecting wires that I will have to guess where ther go or is this just
- a straight connecting of one wire to another? I've no experience with
- replacing plugs so any examples or information you can supply would be
- greately appreciated. Please respond soon as I suspect I'll have to
- be replacing the PS soon. At present the machine takes two flips of the
- "ON" switch to get it going. :-(
