Me, everytime i design a pcb: „i know that ic, no need to read the datasheet in detail“ Also me: „fuck should have read the datasheet… – *pulls out soldering iron*
That’s beautiful. The wires are all just the right length and routed comfortably between the components. The exposed wire is just enough to solder. This looks like an excellent mod job. The only gorey thing about it is having to do it in the first place.
I had to do this in a car key switch and its a really difficult work. I can’t imagine how many hours, broken traces, broken cable joints, and dropped tears had the person that done this to achieve the result.
Since part of my job is revising boards, bench testing the changes and then designing them in for production, to me this looks like a pretty clean job of the second step I mentioned. There is nothing that looks bridged and I can even see where the connections go pretty easily. None of them look like they’re about to break off either.
Had a 486 with only 30 pin memory slots. Got a (relative to 4×30 pin 4MB SIMs) deal on a 16MB 72 pin SIM. glued it to the back of the motherboard, and point to point wired it to 4 of the slots. Worked fine.
If it works it works🤷♂️
That’s not solder gore, that’s engineering.
Manager: You fixed it? Great. We’ll start production on Monday
I’ve never seen this can I get an explanation on those tubes? How durable are they to not cause a short?
Yikes, trace rot or bad/ripped pads? Looks like it gets the job done at least.
This offends my sensibilities. Cursed image.
That flux… <gag>

I love that
Not shown: Engineer’s tears when learning the PCB fab had an error and then learning they were out of bodge wire.
that aint gore at all, thats a whole ass spider living on the board.

This looks like a perfectly good mod executed very well. Nice one.
at least it’s insulated
they gave up

Welcome to “I didn’t triple-check the pinout before having the board made.”
Rework
you can get those Teflon tubings. they are super useful if you do reworks.

Gore? Some points might have a bit too much solder on them but if it works IT’S FRIGGIN ART

It’s the best thing I have ever seen. I have done a lot of this but never so complex and yet so clean. Amazingu!
