Re: Naked Amp

I've expanded my "Light bulb limiter/transformer testing rig" to include those screw terminals but nothing like this.

Re: weller de-soldering tools - don't last very long

Been using that blue Soldapullet (is that it?) for a while now.

Re: How to best approach amp repair for a living...

Dying here...laughing and crying at the same time! I know for a fact that even if repairs/building somehow became my primary income producer...I would learn to hate what was once a hobby of passion.

Re: Oscillo-WOW! Can we get a live demo together?

I'm here with you!
Congrats.

I told you once you got going, it isn't as difficult as it seems.

Re: Oscilloscopes for amp building...

I was gifted a Tek 466 which just needs some cleaning and bought a Hitachi V-212 for dirt cheap from a local surplus. And, found a 10X CE probe for $3.00 at a thrift shop, brand new!
