ChrisM	Re: Good Hunting I got a Roger Mayer rocket fuzz from a gut for fifteen bucks once. It was dead. Turned out, one side of the volume pot was broken. I switched the wires around, and the thing has worked great ever since, no cost to fix. The nifty heavy-duty rocket/spaceship looking box is worth fifteen bucks alone. My only other big coup was a vox wah for ten bucks. Again it didn't work. Turned out there was a loose component. Resoldered it, been fine ever since too. Don't really like it too much(wah ain't my thang), but for ten bucks, might as well. Maybe I'll sell it someday, I'll be gauranteed to make a profit on it. -Chris
