Any help with a DE7?

[mth5044]

Same old 'help me w/my broken pedal story', I know -

I bought a dead/dieing DE7 off a guy who said that as he turned the feedback knob up into oscillation, and it just cut out on him. I bought it for the hell of it, plugged it in (battery) and played around with it and it was fine, except the LED wouldn't turn on. I just left it as is and figured I could tell whether it was on or off by hearing it.

Now today I went to mess around with it a bit more, and it seems to have died again. Well.. almost.

I take the cord out, strike a note on the guitar, then plug the cable back in, and the sound comes back for about a second then dies away. I check out the battery and it measures ~12V's ( ) so the battery isn't dead. I then noticed that there is an LED lighting from insides the pedal, through the little hole between the pedal casing and the knob. So I figured I'd take it apart and see what was up. Apparently there is an LED next to the power jack... I dont know.

Anyway...

I'd like to get this pedal up and running as the DE7 is one of my fav delays. Any guidance you have will be greatly appreciated 

Thank you and Happy Christmas,

Matthew
