reincarnated tek scope parts
I was recently given a bunch of components from a 549 scope. What a beautiful piece of engineering. I was inspired to create something to help the bits live on. I built a 1 tube regenerative receiver

Re: unsoldering tricks

Re: unsoldering tricks
Yes, that's what I just did with a board from a Dyna dm2400 cnc m/c. The L295 solenoid driver ( used as a stepper driver) had gone down with a few diodes gone with it. Not having sophisticated

Re: unsoldering tricks
A fellow from plant engineering at an auto plant told me how they repaired boards at the plant, where down time is really expensive. They cut the ic from the leads, remove the leads one at a time and

Re: [TekScopes2] Re:Replacing caps
So I'm not the only one makes weird soldering tips. I had to make a .5" wide one a while back that worked great. I also made one with a 2.5" wide blade for a DC/DC converter that was really stubborn-
