Title: ISO: Someone to mod UA-5
Post by: alienbobz on September 22, 2004, 12:19:59 PM
I just bought an unmodded UA-5. Would anyone be will to digi-mod it? Perferably someone in the Northwest area just so I don't have to send it out. If so, let me know.

I know speshulEd has done it.

Don't want to volunteer him for anything though- but from what I have heard, its pretty easy!  I'm kinda a pussy when it comes to that kind of stuff too... I am not into breaking open somethin that I just dropped a couple hundoe on...

I was able to modify mine myself but it was a little delicate work, time consuming, and made me a little nervious ;p

I was thinking of offering to help but I'd be much more nervious trying to do someone else's if I fucked it up LOL.

yeah, i consider myself to be pretty good at soldering nowadays, but i still don't trust myself with someone elses equipment.  if i ruin my own stuff, its me who's pissed off - if i ruin yours, then i have to reimburse you for it and you hate me for the rest of your life.

and honestly, i got good at soldering because i messed up modding my xbox and had to solder traces back to the main board (not a fun time) - basically i taught myself and i'm sure anyone can do it if they just have confidence.

anyway, good deal on finding someone to help you out.
