I recently ordered two Boom displays from Joe (Johannes) who shipped them to me here in VA from Germany. I have a local vintage hifi repair shop that can do the repair/replacement. But this morning, the repair guy called me to say that in my Booms, the connections to the display LED are covered in a big hardened blob of glue that apparently American manufacturers have been "adding" to their electronic components since the 70s. This blob of glue can't be dissolved with a solvent so he is attempting to carefully chip it off in order to get the old display out. I have not read of anyone else running in to this problem with the Boom display replacement. Is this just a thing that afflicts the Booms sold for the USA market? Anyway, my repair guy fears that the chipping process could damage one of the other tiny little parts on the circuit board. I hope not. Any advice before I allow him to start chipping on my second Boom?
