OT: Stabilizing Old Transformer Input Wires
I just don't know where there's an appropriate group for this so thought I'd ask here. I have a transformer (out of a fairly old SOLA CVT) whose 115V input leads have become fragile right at the point

Re: 465 Electrolytic Capacitor Replacement
The PACE solder rework training has some interesting "methods" for component removal https://youtu.be/h_RiRL-flgs?t=801 of course they only mention "Heat and Shake" but don't recommend it. -- Jeff

Hi Daniel, Marian absolutely refuses to give any one access to our bank accounts (I think she is smarter than me) so we struggled when eBay insisted we had to provide them with a bank account. Then we

Marian, I don't know what part of the world that you're in but I RARELY see any problems on E-bay here in the US. I use both Mozilla and Palemoon. I don't think that E-bay (US) has given out the

Can anyone use a 453 P6010 (010-0187-00) probe?
