Title: Re: Firefox project and testing small components
Post by: pvachon1970 on November 25, 2015, 08:58:17 pm
Hey John,

Was watching your Firefox project where you changed out the 2 faulty transistors to test them with the multi-meter.

Since those components are rather tiny, you should use a "helping hands" clamp that can hold the transistor in place while you test with the meter.

Radio Shack carries them for around 15.00 and they have a magnifier as well that could be useful too.

Hope things go well with your contact in Tennessee that can rebuild the laser disc player for you.
