Thanks everybody. I think once the holidays have passed (and hopefully I'll have a lil' cash) will pick up some basic soldering tools (already have an iron) and will fool around with it. Truth be known, I'm pretty hard on cables, so would be good to have the ability to make repairs at least. I also have a couple xlr eco-charge power cables for my v3 that are wired for 12v that I need to rewire for 6v. I imagine that will make for a good starter project.
Any suggestions on quality solder?
