People with rediculous solid state rubbish are always oblivious to the simplest solutions...

Is that a kludged, belt-driven exciter???

Why use an anti-static mat, when you can just use a spare PC Motherboard?

McBryce.

[Cubdriver]

At least he's holding the iron correctly...  Baby steps, people - baby steps!

[NiHaoMike]

Given the motherboard is old enough to have IDE and multiple PCI, maybe it's a scrap being used to avoid burning the table?

Check out 8:30 to 9:00

 

No wonder there was a nuclear accident. It all started when they were trying to jump start a 1N914 diode. The engineers clearly didn't know what the Fukushima they were doing.

Just found this looking at DMMs on Ebay.

You know it's a quality meter when the positive jacks are black.

[Bud]

Black probe in voltage jack, red one in current jack. Black probe is over the red probe, that is V/I = R what is on the display, i do not see anything wrong with it

Tee hee hee. 

Here's another one from Ebay seller.

Step 1 - Heat solder joint

Step 2 - ... Aw hell forget that one, let's do this one! 

[xrunner]

Well the el cheapo meter - we have a choice of black or yellow. The associated pics can help us understand where we use it.

We have a nice soldering pic, for some reason. Must be to show off their other product - the impenatrable clear plastic gloves that let you touch the hot soldering iron. The melted plastic helps keep your skin free of contamination for the rest of the day.

Also, checking some sort of industrial strip. Fine.

Plus, don't forget your wrench. Make it a Big Wrench. Real big, so they'll really think you know what you're doing. With the meter, which is ... somewhere.

[windsmurf]

The user is about to yell the brand name of this meter.

[timelessbeing]

The wrench pic has a car engine in the background. It's showing that the meter can be used for automotive troubleshooting. I don't have a problem with it.

At least use the 20A port!

Using a wrench for the prop?

Uh, OK.

Too expensive. They designed two different silk screens for the two colors. What do they think, that I'm made out of money?

[xrunner]

Hmmm ...

[Red Squirrel]

Ah yes, AC capacitors they store voltage in AC.

[Psi]

I saw a video recently where they attached a car jumper cable clip onto a PLCC socket.
But i cant remember were i saw it or i would post a link.

I love them! They even reverse text marks on them at V frequency! It's in the negative phase now!

It was somewhere on this forum. A documentary on Fukushima's reactor failure or something like that.

Yes  - it was something about the tsunami and Fukushima, and yes, somewhere here.

Hmmm ...

I don't think I'd want to be holding a 50V rated electrolytic that had 220VAC across it.  Seems like just begging to lose a fingertip or two when that puppy grenades.  (Though on further reflection, the print on the cap is mirrored - maybe it's from opposite world where DC means ac and 220 is less than 50.)
