With your purchase, we'll include a FREE, professionally scanned PDF copy of THE RECEIVER Service Manual (the circuitry is virtually identical with THE RECEIVER, the MXR-130 & MXR-150). The Service Manual includes schematics, block diagrams, parts lists and setup instructions. Service Manual PDF will be delivered via e mail.
The parts can be replaced by a person with limited soldering skills. A soldering iron, solder wick and solder are needed to replace the parts. Use standard safety precautions (wear safety glasses, unplug the unit before soldering, etc) when working on your gear. When you're done soldering, always wash your hands because solder contains lead. Please note that replacing the relays will fix the receiver only if the relay was the problem to start with!
