Show off your choice tools to repair Boombox !!!!

Since I got the Conion Epsilon I have never been able to open up and clean inside due to my screwdriver being to small...the unit is 10" deep A year went by and look what I got (24" screwdriver) so I was able to open and clean and repair 1 broken post plus the soft eject on one deck

On a more serious note:

I have my Boombox Lab where I do my repairs. I have a soldering iron, heat gun, shrink tubing size collection, screw drivers of various sizes. Draw systems to hold small parts, drills, cleaning equipment. Everything I need to do a tear down, clean and repair.

Thanks for this video! This is good working place.
I saw and drums and I guess, you're a musician and play them.
This is very good.

HI Bill,


I also got a very similar screw driver that is really long!

Mine is only 16 inches long!

I have another type of spring loaded desolder suction pump. I will post pics of my special tools tomorrow. I have even very special files for contacts. A good friend of mine gave me that. He is a retired britich Philips Engineer, a super nice person.

I used this to repair crack in my pool filter and seems to work pretty good

Royce I had a spring loaded suction pump but worked like sh-t Then I used some parts with an old vacuum and was able to suck solder up. But it was a pain in the A$$. But this new one works excellent and for $12 plus you only need one hand to use
