Title: John's new toy - Autobot Transistor Tester
Post by: AdamDIY on April 01, 2016, 10:54:38 am
I just bought the same Autobot tester that John was using in the Computer Space Arcade Restore Part 5 video and it came with no instructions.  ??? What slot do I insert the pins into? It has two rows labeled 1233123 and I have no clue what way to insert a cap or any other part.  Anyone have info on this?

You have to use two or three different slots. That's it.

Don't use the same numbered slot more than once.

So, with a cap... place it in either 1 and 2 or 1 and 3. Doesn't matter which ones.

BTW -- I'll do a video just about this device ASAP.
