I have a Technics 1210 that has gone dysfunctional on me. It is giving off massive amounts of feedback that I'm almost positive is connected to the ground-wire being dodgy (if I fiddle with it, it provides me with a few minutes of less feedback).
Now I know I should get this serviced, but I've heard horror stories of people taking their gear into shops for what they thought was a minor problem and then getting billed far above what they thought it should have been worth.
Has anyone tried replacing a ground-wire? Is it a difficult procedure? Is it worth getting it serviced, or better to find someone good with a soldering iron to do it instead? I've never had to get any of my equipment serviced before.
