pretty extensive selection there, except I wish there was more information. It's nice to see a thread like this with folks actually getting into the guts of stuff and fixing it with what you have. Good to know I'm not alone when I take a device apart and fix it, rather than just replace it like most guys do. Also, this is far (thankfully!) away from the all to common " I found a awwsum new plastic pre-cleaner for my faux-euroheadlights!!!!!" thread.
