I primarily repair old analog electronics ( ) but haven't built anything of my own; does old computer refurbs
Analog is the best kind of log. Although log log rolls down stairs and over your neighbors dog.
Log is even better than powdered toast, man.
It really is the end all toy/tool. Once you have log there is no going back. Also what kind of electronics projects do you like to do?
It's better than bad, it's GOOD!
Woohoo analog! I like analog electronics repair. That smell of vintage equipment is intoxicating. It's also probably a health hazard but it's intoxicating nonetheless. I subbed to and will check out the amateur radio sub too. I never went Ham but it always interested me. Thanks for the links and info.
That smell is leaded solder fyi. So sweet and tasty.
Good old 60/40 lead tin alloy with rosin core flux. I hate that new RoHS crap solder that doesn't stick well even if you add more flux. I keep spools of the good stuff around to fix the inevitable cracked and cold solder joints that the RoHS stuff causes. There's nothing quite like the smell of lead and rosin in the morning.
