Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)
My original database was custom software on a Commodore 64. Due to limited memory, I had to have multiple databases, one for each class of components. Large quantities are in anti-static bags, in

Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)
I use small bags in bins. Inside the bag, a paper label tells the type. If too numerous: no bag, single part number in the whole bin. (Or 2 part numbers with very different packages) Most important: I

Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)
I use small coin envelopes for bipolar transistors. Then, if they cross to the ECG/NTE system, the envelope goes into a drawer in the 20+ 50 drawer cabinets in the shop. I started doing this in 1970,

Thanks, Renee'. The old memory is not what it used to be. Not totally gone yet, though, evidently. Jim

Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)
Say, isn't the 2N3906 a PNP transistor?? And 2N3904 is the NPN complement?? Or does my memory from 30 some odd years ago fail me? Thanks. Jim F. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)
Actually I pretty much use one bin for every type. Mostly 6-12 bin plastic trays. Have hundreds of transistors, diodes, LEDs, dip ICs, radial caps, all classified by type and functions. Resistors come

Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)
Not yet, but that is absence of evidence, not evidence of absence. Even though it is humid here, rarely less than 50%RH, for FETs I would try to find bags similar to the ones used for storage in

Re: OT - Method of choice to sort and store assorted transistors (apart from having one bin for every part number)
My favorite way to store diodes, transistors, ICs, is to use a 4x6" pink zip-lock anti-static bag for each type. they fit perfectly in standard 4" cardboard stock bins, so you can fit many types per

I use bead organization containers for SMD parts. Locally, Michaels or Hobby lobby may have them. You get about 20 screw top plastic vials in a plastic case for not too much (look for sales). These

Re: TDS3032 does not boot. LCD backl-ight and fan working.
I would think if it is a dead NVRAM, holding in the B-TRIG button as you power it up will cause a reset. See if that gets it booting. Dave [email protected]> wrote:

If you have more than a couple of each, get small pill bottles with snap on caps, write the device number on top and keep them in order. Make small trays slightly higher than the bottle and you can
