hi all. i know this might be a stretch to find someone here who can help 
me, but it's better than nothing.

i have an Edirol R-1 which has some issues (scratchiness when mic plug 
is touched/rotated in mic jack). there are no screws that i can see on 
the case, so i'm guessing there is some other way to open the case. i'm 
looking for a service manual or someone who has had experience servicing 
these devices in the past to offer help.

i feel pretty handy with a soldering iron and think once i get the case 
open i can fix the problem of the bad connection on the jack.

yes, the device is no longer under warranty and yes, i am too thrifty to 
send the thing to a "service center" where they will charge me $$$ to 
even look at it. i know that they sell the service manual (at 
Roland/Edirol) for $35 + $5 S&H but i'm not interested in that (if i can 
avoid it) either.

thanks for your help.
