Fried LM-2S

I fried an LM and had to return it for repair. Apparently, I carelessly allowed an audio output to short with a hot wire. This killed the entire LM. $30 repair bill and the turnaround time was quick.

Be careful!

I've done that before, and the repair was quick as well.  Lesson learned, and now I'm far more careful with being sure all my wire junctions are fully insulated.  It only takes one time!
