Wrong polarity on Vfield on Mesa cards is bad.....

Yeah... well, they had them.... and the price was ok. But what ruined it for me was the shipping.
They insisted on FedEx at $71.... no other alternatives for shipping.

But I found them on another site that I have bought hard to get components from before: utsource.net.
The components were cheaper and they charged only $4 for shipping, and $25 for expedited shipping with FedEx..... which I don't need. So everything ended up at $17.50, shipping and all.

Since the cards I toasted are considered as lost I don't have that much too loose by trying to rescue them. It will be a little trial and error with SMD soldering. But I have seen videos on how to do it on youtube that made me quite confident I will be able to pull it off. I will borrow my friend’s hot air equipment. The question is whether I toasted other components as well. I guess I will find out in some days when I get the components.
