Haha thanks man. I was looking for a deal on a pedal and I couldnt let this one go. I may have bitten off more than I canchew but thats nothing new for me.15 caps isnt too bad I suppose. I just placed my order with SmallBearElec and got everything but the caps. Im gonna save that for later but Ill just go ahead and replace them for the sake of due diligence and all. Ive never built a circuit board before so Im going to practice that before diving into this beast.

By the way, maybe its because Ive only bought electrical supplies from Radio Shack and Harbor Freight but is SmallBearElec SUPER cheap for a lot of stuff? Never bought supplies online but it seemed ridiculously cheap. I think I felt like a kid in a toy store with a birthday check from Grandma.

Well that was educational. I found that the power cable was basically ready to tear off of the sliding switch and I also think the reason the LED was so dim was because of a weak connection because both leads also snapped clean off. So after getting help on the BuildYourOwnClone pedal forum it looks like this power cord IS ok to use, but Id still rather replace it with one that has the 2 dofferent soze prongs so you always know which on is ground. Or can I not use one of those because this is wired for AC? Again please forgive my ignorance. Heres some more pics now that its opened up:

So these are the parts I really want to replace along with the cord. Im having a hard time finding this exact style seitch, but 3 of the terminals arent even used. So can I get away with another switch to the same specs but with only 3 points instead of 6 or does it need the other 3 not being used for whatever reason? Ive already found these sliding pots on SmallBearElec.com as well as its caps so Im good there.

UPDATE: I learned that the switch currently installed is a Master Switch double pole double throw but I really only need a double pole single throw(or is it a single pole double throw?). I was gonna get a dofferent style switch with only 3 terminals but I was told if this is the original switch that potential future buyers might be scared off if its different. Is this power switch I have the original? Theres clear evidence that people have tried to repair this pedal over the years so I have no idea what is the correct original part and whats not. Thank you in advance for your help.
