Paul, I thinkyou need to 'fess up and bite the bullet on this one. The board that you're trying to repair is most likely a multi layer board. While you might be able to reconstruct the surface traces there is no way to reconnect the inner layers unless you can get a copy of the artwork of the board. This is extremely unlikely. If you were able to snap a PC board in half inside a VCR, you've done more damage than you think. Good luck, Bill Kasprzak Moog Inc. PS - That must be some VCR for $1400 bucks, for less than $500 bucks you can get one heck of a good VCR at most local electronics stores. ################################################################ TechNet E-Mail Forum provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ################################################################ To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TechNet <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TechNet ################################################################ Please visit IPC web site (http://jefry.ipc.org/forum.htm) for additional information.
