You too! It was a great interaction. Believe me your more cautious approach is better than mine. I got a Telefunken console where the previous owner cut a bunch of wires. I connected a Minimus 7 to one pair thinking it was speaker out because I didn't have those DIN speaker plugs. I didn't have good light or a way to prop up this odd shaped chassis to look underneath well. So I decided I would plug it in after connected and be ready to quickly unplug it. Sure enough it was AC out for internal cabinet lighting not speaker out! Luckily I was quick enough unplugging it (I never let go of the plug) so the loud 60hz AC buzz didn't harm the driver!

That episode FINALLY made me buy a desk mounted magnifying lamp. It was long overdue and a great help. I also soldered SMD with a regular iron/ small tip using wick to clean the pads until recently. They have these cheap things now on eBay that have a heat gun w/adjustable temp/air flow and a soldering iron for $65 that make this much easier. Even when I was a tech that company was too cheap (and very unethical we were ISO 9000 and violated many aspects of that) to have rework stations so we used our irons and heat guns.
