I sent out a working Cadash and protected the RGB custom the best I could.

When it arrived for other member the colors were jacked up.

Had them send it back (sent a call tag) and as expected, the RGB custom was jacked up.

So hard to protect with those tiny little legs and easy to snap off.

I desoldered and more than a handful of the legs came off.

Used a machine pin socket and soldered stubs into each slot using the few legs that remained as the anchor points.

Checked continuity, no shorts between pins and all passed so I Epoxied both sides on almost a 90° to prevent it from sticking up and snapping off again.

Installed and back to Cadash-ing in full color.

Note, I don't think the pin spacing is exact but I found it to be close enough for the girls I date and she's back in business.

Solid and ready to play. I think this will ship safely now also.
