I bought a set of those hollow needle things a while back but haven't had a chance to try them.
This appears to be a tedious process... i would not have patience for it.
a pack of white ABS plastic 1mm rod
the use
position marking the buy-in-bulk Rv09 type potentiometer shafts
no knob needed.
I would have thought white paint or white glue stick, but this is less messy. Maybe can hit it with hot air to smooth it out?
A ET4410 LCR-Meter, not bad looking building quality, further tests to come.
Nice, I’ve been looking at that LCR meter for some time, I was always put off by the lack of any info on calibration though.... looking forward to a full review!!!
Recoil keyring holder thingy.
I use these to hold soldering iron leads off the bench - the body is attached to a raised shelf and... oh, a picture is worth a thousand words. Unfortunately, due to phone shake, clutter and poor positioning those words are from a foreign language. Nevertheless...
a new to me Tek 465B oscilloscope. Guernsey made unit, and looks like, from the labels, to have been well used by the military subcontractors. Missing all 4 cable feet, so will have to look up the 3D print there is on the forum and print some for it. Of the 5 in the pile this was the only one functional at all, at least it does power on, and has a trace, working fan and with response to the controls.
Not my idea but it came in very handy last week. See attachment.

Thank you, downloaded, now to think about printing them when the lack of feet bugs me.
of unknown Asian quality off Ali-Ex
double pole double throw latching push button switches with colored button-caps
has 2.54 mm pin to pin spacing
just the right type of small signal push button switches for most of my DIY projects.
were breadboard, protoboard or PCB mounting is required.
this push button switch design are also available in momentary types.
if your got 3D printing, design your own button-caps, add LED light pipes esc.
I have noticed some creeping inflation of the bulk pricing in the last 3 yrs from this site.
M2.5 standoffs, countersunk screws, washers, and nuts for general PCB-in-box purposes. First outing is a parent-child stomp box project.
I purchased a UT210E Pro from Amazon.
Some replacement Xl4015 buck convertors to fix some modules that were faulty on arrival.
Now I can adjust the voltage
replacements are marked HSETCL HS4015

I paid USD55 for a new one from the hardware store because I needed on to finish up a wiring project at home to keep from losing momentum. We have several Fluke cable testers at work, but it's a pain to drive in and then back to return it since I work from home now. I'm going to be doing more home wiring in the next few months, so I figured I'd get some more "value" out of it. It functions very well on NiMH batteries, BTW.
https://www.kleintools.com/catalog/cable-testers/lan-scout-jr-2-cable-testerAfter using it several times I will vouch that it does what it is advertised to do. Although there are few tests as good as running gigabit speed data with PoE over your CAT6 (or whatever), this tester is easy to stick in a pocket and use on top of a ladder / in the attic / etc.
EDIT:
Will it detect correctly polarised but wrongly paired conductors? I.e. when you've swapped two conductors from different pairs the same way in both ends? A DC test will not hear it, you'd need an AC cross-talk test..
No, it only detects that
this here wire is connected to
this here wire. Doesn't even have a built-in TDR or anything.

I recently bought some dodgy counterfeit components from Ebay seller Adeleparts2010 for the following reasons:
1. I really enjoy a challenge.
2. Formerly Farnell are formally fuckwits.
3. I went completely nuts and lost the plot.
4. All of the above.
To: Adeleparts2010,
I recently purchased and paid for items listed on your Ebay store which were described as:
“5 pair SANKEN 2SB1560/2SD2390 B1560/D2390 TO-3P”. The listing included images which I believe represented genuine Sanken components yet the items I have received are not genuine Sanken components and do not conform to the both the physical and electrical characteristics as described in the Sanken technical specifications. As an experienced electronics technician I am quite confident that you have sent me fake or counterfeit products, you have misrepresented the Ebay listing and wasted both my time and money.
I included a message during the purchase process which stated the following:
“Hello adeleparts2010, I would very much appreciate if you are able to supply me with brand new and genuine components, please do not send anything other than as your Ebay listing describes. This order is for 5 pair of good quality and brand new SANKEN 2SB1560/2SD2390 B1560/D2390 TO-3P. Kind regards and many thanks.”
You have clearly ignored my request for the supply of genuine components and instead sent me poorly copied counterfeit products. I hereby notify that it is my intention to pursue this matter by lodging a formal complaint to both Ebay and Paypal in relation to your questionable practices.

Oh, you saved me! Thanks, I think...

That is not a power supply, that's a piece of art.

Reading your message halfway, For short while I thought made a mistake. Bought it exactly for same reason.

What is done for rework on 220V

I am yet to take it apart to look inside and cleanup, Once i knew my self how they have converted i will let you know.
