was kinda of a surprise...website was way behind their progress...i knew the meter was in route....but figured another day or two on transistors...
there is a god!!!

Watch out for the stray 1" lengths of solder...

Congrats!

It is very reassuring when you grab your meter and know you can rely on it. The other senior engineer has a pile of cheap meters (probably paid more in total than I did for mine) and they all suck. No repeatability.

Not a big deal to see if you have 480 or not, but useless for low voltage and switch/relay work.

I think one brand of tools may have used: “you’re as good as your tools” or something like that…

Edit- mine is the 87-V, not the 77. The RMS bar graph at the bottom has come in handy a few times for pulse signals on PLC inputs/outputs.

With a Lagavulin in-hand. Neat, I assume?

 

[gene french]

if only i knew what a lagavulin was...however
it is totally satisfying...and rewarding ....
and an experience now well worth the pain!!!

Does this mean Gene is going to have to start a new thread? Or will this one continue forever?

I think it's the record for longest single thread...

I think it's the record for longest single thread...

Especially on a build thread. Most are short and sweet (i.e. no explosions/fires/nuclear meltdown) but there was plenty of fodder wasn't there.

But everything is fixed and WORKS! what 3 amps? I seen thread that had a lot of post and they never fixed the amp.
