Re: Asteroids with no video

Yes, my meter has a diode tester. How do I use it in this case?

I haven't worked with tin can transistors before so I have to guess at what
you mean :). I took my cheapo multimeter set to continuity tester and
touched the black wire to the case (ground) and red to the transistor
outside. My tester had tone for about 1 second until it faded away rather
quickly. It did that to all 4 transistors.

Does your meter have a diode test mode on it? It is normal for chasis
transistors to show continuity (or tone ) in your case for about 1/2 second
before
it shows resistance.
