The studio B pair of wires (circled) were shorting out.
This may have been “good enough” at the time… but if you do things right the first time (ie cut your wires to an appropriate length so they don’t short!) it’ll save weeks of frustration down the road!
Also, the poorly tinned end of the left wire broke off and jammed that port. I trimmed and restripped both wires and shifted the pair to #7 and just like that, Studio B is back. Magic!
Yours sincerely, (and with a deep sense of relief now that (almost) all is right in the world),
Mellow Max
P.S. All I want for Hanukkah is a nice wire stripper for the station… or maybe two… they’re only $10!
