Re: Does the mixmaster always fail to work? HELP

Hi allan, Ok I tried to do some experimenting with it, I think like you said. I tried different single leads one at a time, and it seems that it does not matter which lead as I did find recently a bad lead, but it seems to be more in the area of input #1 on the mixmaster, especialy if I jiggle the c...
