Hi Rick, I am curious as to what mods you had performed:
"It is repaired, UPDATED with all current mods (including moving the wires that arced to a different configuration) and is undergoing rigorous testing." I am running barefoot so arcing is not likely and I do not have any immediate plans to get an amp, but I wasn't aware there were any mods done to it.
