Many, many, many, many years ago... I bought a speaker.
Battery powered, 40-watt, 12 inch body with a 6-inch woofer...
AND a wireless mic.
It has 1.4", 3.5mm, XLR and i-pod inputs.
It was pre blue tooth.
It was a real solid little sucker, priced about 300-bucks...
back in the 90's when the technology was still new.
The battery died just before the Covid layoff, so I replaced it.
Never worked well after that, and last I checked...didn't work at all.
I have two weddings in the beginning of November...BOT with ceremony in another room.
So I was checking all my sources for a rental/borrow agreement,
but my sources were dry.
I have two cheap JBL powered backups, but one was also not working.
so last night, in a moment of boredom (and curiosity)
I opened up the battery compartment of the Samson,
and found out one of the terminal. plugs had corroded.
After cutting and cleaning, I soldered the wire to the battery.
BAZINGA! It worked.
Moral of the story...
don't give up on something that only requires a little attention.
(or...a little extra attention)
