Howdy folks,
New member here in St Small, MN. Due to hand tremors and bad eyesight, I cant do any SMD work except for the largest parts - and even then, its more a matter of luck than skill. Since SMD is now so common for hobby work, I'm hoping to meet someone local who'd be willing to handle the occasional soldering operation for me.
I do have a couple friends from out of state who've helped me out in the past, but mailing stuff around is kind of a hassle, not to mention the costs.
FYI - I'm a retired tube audio tech, and have tubes, sockets, related parts and even a bit of knowledge to share. I also have access to a fantastic local tube metrology outfit, if you need tubes tested or matched.
Thanks,
Bill / KF0AEE
