BTW...did you knew you can weld Al? All you need is some stronger welder or at least 100W soldering iron. Use sharp knife to clean ends which are about to be soldered and apply melted rosin, than fast press tin with fervent soldering iron and heat the place good. Tin will form nice coat over Al surface and than you can easilly link those ends.
But all this you must do very fast because Al oxidate very fast in air.
Do few times and you will become an expert.
That's how i fixed few TM808's so far!
Also i fixed my Troy X3 shaft with same method, only welder was much stronger...
Thanks. I use the principle of White's... you know what for! So, I "invent" my own system...
