Sometimes you get lucky at the thrift store. One worked, the other had a broken XLR case ground and one broken mic element wire. PCB and ICs appear ok. However these are from the "bad cap era" late 90s/early 2000s - ESR is a bit high for my taste. – at Port Charlotte, FL

one of those things is not like the other... two identical N3PF06 p-channel mosfets, and two different results... I think the guilty party just revealed itself. one mosfet is trying to be something else... – at Port Charlotte, FL

making some progress at handling smd stuff... managed to desolder this mosfet surrounded by other components. managed to not blow up the cap, huge diode, or tiny smd resistors nearby. low melt solder is a wonderful thing... – at Port Charlotte, FL

Today's retro save. Found my original multimeter in my parents garage. Fixed broken battery terminal, replaced the corroded leads and broken meter connection and its good as new and .

some finishing touches to the SX-64 Stereo Tube Boombox. (stereo tube preamp, dual magic eyes & led vu meters, & music spectrum display on the SX-64 front panel. Just need to get a tube power amp to replace the cheap solid state on top. Boombox speakers split for separation – at Port Charlotte, FL

Fellow chip pullers, wanted to reach out and thank @JonardTools for replacing my EX-2 chip extraction tool that "lost a tooth" after many extractions :-) It is great to see a company that stands behind their product no questions asked. Definitely be buying more of their tools. – at Port Charlotte, FL

Finally broke down and added an LCD to my SX-64 but not the kind of LCD you're thinking of 📷. Stereo Spectrum display - goes nicely with the MixSid, [music: Hooker by Owen Crowley]
