At Repair Cafe I:
...fixed a problem with a sewing machine. Operator error.
...failed to fix a CD player. I couldn't get the circuit boards out as the wiring was soldered after assembly, and the boards soldered to the chassis. Someone else will have a go.
...sharpened two pairs of scissors.
...repaired a toy N gauge locomotive. The battery wiring was broken (and fake copper), and the motor was seized solid. I replaced the wiring and rebuilt the motor.
