nasty solder bridge (Perfect Sound sampler)

[jbuonacc]

just picked up this sampler add-on. had a look inside and noticed an ugly looking solder bridge by the left input. at first glance it looks like someone fell asleep while they were soldering it, but i'm wondering if it's intentional? i notice they didn't trim one of the pins that's bridged, could this be part of the design? i haven't tried using it yet, not sure what would happen. any ideas? sorry i couldn't get a better picture:



anyone know much about Amiga samplers? i've read that this model of the Perfect Sound only works with the A1000, could that be correct?

Measure continuity from the bridge to the grounds of each of the input jacks. If it connects only to the two grounds, then the chances are that the bridge is intentional, and makes the grounds common. If the bridge connects to the signals of the input jacks then you'll probably find that the L and R will be mixed.

The first Perfect Sound only works with the A1000. The follow-up models also work on other Amigas. I once had a Perfect Sound III (black case) for my A500. I remember that the application that came with the sampler refused to work with the 68010 and Kickstart 2.04.
