Say Thanks

I answer a lot of repair questions on forums and Reddit, and I give away the parts, designs and tools I make along the way. None of it will ever be paywalled. But if something here saved you a bench fee or got an instrument playing again, you're welcome to buy me a coffee. It all goes back into the garage: parts, test gear, and time to keep answering.

Other ways to say thanks

Post a follow-up on the thread saying what fixed it. The next person with the same fault will find it.
Share a photo of the repaired instrument on Instagram and tag @keyandcableco.
If the fix turns out to be more than a forum answer can cover, mail-in repair is always an option.
