If the parts don't fall out by their own weight there's something wrong with your desoldering tool. That transformer I mentioned the other day, which I changed 50+ times, I did that with the (very

There are about 400 RS franchise stores nationwide. In the course of my travels for work I get by two of them, one with a modest stock of RS parts and one with a better stock. The RS franchise store

Brass has quite poor heat conductivity, less than a third that of copper, not sure if that would still work. I don't know how well it holds up, since I have never seen a soldering tip made of brass,

I've used my Radio Shack solder sucker (not the bulb but the spring-loaded cylinder version) with pretty good success but I have lifted a couple of pads along the way. I really, really need to get

There are, indeed, many cheap/fast PCB suppliers. Most won't "advertise" /other/ people's boards, nor allow you to buy them. If I was to make such a board, I couldn't be bothered with all the hassle

When I designed the board, I intentionally made it one-sided to eliminate the exposure of the higher voltages to the top side of the board. In retrospect, those would be very difficult to get one's

Hi Reginald, Have you taken a look at the tremendous collection of stuff on Hakanh's site? There is a semiconductor workbook at http://hakanh.com/dl/kits.htm (bottom of the page, more or less) which
