The Last Circuit Bender

Yesterday evening I went over to Josh's and he took a look at my ARP Avatar. Think he's diagnosed which component is broken: negative voltage regulator. So ordered the part and he says it should be easy to replace once he gets it (so hopefully there aren't any other issues). Then while there he even fixed its guitar cable! The one end had broken off a long long time ago (even well before its current power issue, and I just hadn't used it as a guitar synth at all), but he pretty easily soldered the wires back together. The actual hardest part on that was removing the metal enclosure and I helped with that (a lot of pry and push)! Anyway, all that was fun and it'll be amazing if the synth finally gets fixed! Later after I came home Mary Beth and I watched Women Art Revolution, a documentary about the feminist art movement by Lynn Hershman Leeson.
