It is apparent that many like myself have had their interest in electronics rekindled by Dave's excellent video blog and forum. I will have been a forum member for a year on the 31st of this month. Then I thought about how much money I have spent in that year driven by this rekindled enthusiasm and great forum. I had a fluke 87 and a Weller WTCP when I joined the forum. In the year AD (after Dave) I have acquired: new Fluke 8846A, Rigol DS1052E, Rigol DG1022 AWG, lET DE5000 LCR, JBC soldering station Mastech triple power supply, Digital solder paste dispenser, Tek 2225, Panavise, vacuum tweezers, hand tools, shelves, tool boxes, Anti static mat, on and on ....... Dave has cost me a tremendous amount of money, but I am very, very greatfull, Anyone else in the same boat?
