If you are going to attempt to repair your El lighting or needles DO NOT PUT HEAT TO THEM, DO NOT SOLDER THE CONNECTION, AND DO NOT USE RESISTANCE WIRE FOR THE WIRE, you will destroy your part, and it gets expensive to have it rebuilt. I posted some pics of stuff I just received that need to be repaired. Client not to happy with the individual/business that did the initial so called professional repair. If you want to repair your own stuff, I encourage it and will help walk you through it, just call me, email me, pm me, and Im happy to help. Todd Todds Restorations.
