I want to buy your soldering skills! (no joke. real money.)

[Sweebez]

Hey all,

So I've been screwing around with my gamecube lately, and you know what I've realized?
My hands shake like my old grandfather's!
I tried to desolder some things today, and I wound up popping a resistor out! I'm lucky I could solder it back on!
While I was ok with the bigger-scale work on the snes and nes, I cannot seem to work precisely enough for this board.

So, here is where you, a confident (or broke) soldering master, enter the scene.
I would like the following tasks performed on my gamecube.

1. direct wire-to-wire connection of the regulator board to the main board.
2. direct wire-to-wire connection of the disk drive board to the main board.
3. direct connection of my memory cards to the main board.
4. application of kasar's fantastic 12v mod on the regulator board.

I will provide the gamecube board, money, and the following if you need it:
1. soldering iron
2. extra solder
3. some extra ribbon wires I find in the house

I'd love for the wires to be on the longer end, just to keep design options open.
Again, I'd do this myself, but I've been trying for two days straight, and my hands just won't stop trembling enough .

If anyone is interested, please respond to this topic with your price and your zip code (to calculate shipping).

i ebt shockslayer will do it.

and this should be in the gamecube forum or the trading post.

Yeah, I thought so too, but I wasn't sure if this counted as a "trade" or was "gamecube-only" or what, you know?

Try eating some bananas and then soldering. Potassium is good for ya.

I'm probably the best person for the job, let me come up with a price, but before you ship it to me I want a video of it working, and then I'll post an unboxing video + testing to make sure it survived the trip.

Other than that, I've done all those mods before, so no worries there! I just have to get myself some ribbon cable(meaning you minght wanna send some, enough for all the connections + some extra in case a few are too short... ect..

I find a bit of Scotch or some beer really smooth me out. Coffee does just the opposite.
