>Uhm, like, cold solder joints suck.
Ahhh, I was thinking more along the lines of:
"Well, I didn't have any LM317's so I just used a couple of TIP32s which
fit. And I didn't have any caps left so I used some extra resistors-- they
fit too so they must be OK. And I got tired of soldering all the little
induhvidual pins so I just soldered them all together. For some reason it
doesn't work. You must have screwed up and sent me a bad product."
and...
"I used a 100W wood burner tool with some pipe-solder, so some of those
little copper lines came off the board-- but I replaced 'em with some 12ga
copper core wire left over from wiring my house."
(Wait, maybe those were just RGVAC people... Variations on the above were
part of the reason I decided to only sell ESB and Sega kits
pre-assembled... :-)
