How hard is DIY refurbishing an X100?

[Fireful0]

Hahaha!
Well the good news is, that these headphone amps really aren't that hard to fix. (As long as the circuit board isn't cracked)

I may go for the IIB then, if anyone can input on how it sounds compared to the X100...

It was good enough for Tom to use on Third Stage...

Ended up getting the $50 X100. Here’s hoping it works!

Whoot whoot!
If it don't work, let us know.
I know I just got done doing all kinds of stuff to mine.

Buy the X100. If you don't, give me his number. :D The electrolytic capacitors are peanuts. With shipping, the 11 capacitors might cost you $10. Probably less. Let me know if you need part numbers for each capacitor that I use in them.

BTW - that Soloist is probably mine, if you saw it on eBay. That should tell you something if I am recommending buying the X100 instead of the Soloist. There is nothing wrong with the Soloist, however, BUY the X100. That is a great deal.

Old post I know but I was wondering if you would let me know what the part numbers are for each of those caps so I can replace them on my X100. I just got one and want to get it back to 100%. I ran across this thread and that would be a great help.

Also, wondering how the original poster made out with that X100. How did it go?

Works great, been using it for a while now! I did end up sending it off for a refurb back in 2018—my input jack came loose from the circuit board. I decided to pay a pro to do it after attempting to replace the toggle switch in my guitar and burned a bunch of holes in the guitar and ruined the switch. Turns out I don’t actually remember how to solder.

I may also have the parts list you’re after, but I’ll have to dig for it. Might take a day or two.

Hey-
Sorry for the slow response. I never got an email
or anything alerting me to your reply.
Anyway, thanks a lot for getting back to me with that info. I’m hoping my soldering skills are up to the task 😊. I hear having a temperature setting soldering iron helps a lot. I think I’ll grab one of those for this and other future soldering jobs.
Glad to hear everything worked out well with your X100. These things are awesome!
Thanks again,
Mark

Oops I just realized that was two different people Who responded lol
OP - glad it worked out.
X100ver10: many thanks!
I appreciate the follow up on this old post. It is still totally relevant for Rockman fans now!
