Thanks jbell.
I have it opened up, have been looking at the forums, still a little leary to do it myself. Can't be that hard, but thought someone who knows how would be better than me.
Anyone? Busman ?

If you just want the digimod I think it is just soldering a jumper!! I could be wrong about that

best DIY tutorial I ever found for a straight digimod - http://he.fi/photo/ua5-dissection/modified/

Fyi, Chris Johnson (at Busman Audio) still performs his mod. In fact, I need to send him my stock UA-5 to have it modded. :P

Thanks guys. Knowing me, I will probably try to do it myself.

Here are photos how to mod ua5 with switch. If you dont need switch just connect points of middle and right (R35) green wire - see pic 2, then cut path - see pic 7. You will need non shaking hands. The best is to ask somebody who is working with micro solder.
