For those of you who missed Mihnea's performance at Paul's this past 
weekend, it was awesome!  But as he said, soldering sucks!

When he sent Marc Swanson off with a replacement ECU and suggested 
somebody else do the soldering, I thought that if Mihnea wants to do 
some more tuning next time, folks better have their ECU's socketed 
beforehand.  So I checked with a local TV repair shop to see if he was 
willing.  It turns out he is, so here's the info for anybody who is 
interested.

The shop is located in East Hartford Connecticut so obviously that sort 
of limits the usefulness to local folks.  The name is 20th Century TV, 
Tel (860) 290-1280.

I talked to him about doing Marc's and he said he was interested but he 
wanted to see it first and he didn't want to be rushed.  He would 
charge shop rate (approx $60/hr) with a min of 1 hr.

Marc Swanson, I believe, eventually did his himself.  It's not that 
hard if you have good tools and soldering skills but there's no way 
Mihnea should have to do all the tuning work and the soldering.  If you 
want a Mihnea chip, show up with a socketed ECU!


(I don't have any relationship or deal with 20th Century TV other than 
they fixed a TV of mine once.  It was cheap and its still working.)

See you at  //SFest
