Need to spank the wife!

Yesterday, my wife turned down the volume on my two channel setup. Several hours later, I was listening to the music, and discovered the right channel was only getting the SDA feed, so I began troubleshooting.

I switched drivers around, inspected all the wiring and did all the steps to discover the source of my problems. After playing with everything I could think of, I came to the conclusion that my Sunfire had a channel that went out... until I looked at the balance control on the Rogue. She turned it all the way to the left, thinking it was the volume control!:eek:

Bottom line is that I felt like a moron and she was laughing her **** off.

    Here's a little mod that you can do to the face panel of your Sunfire.

    She'll never go near it again. :rolleyes:




    This does not excuse her past behavior, though, so that spanking still is in order.

    ...... pix would be a good idea, IMO........ purely for scientific research purposes.
