From: Pete Norman Hello everyone! I'm just toddling along with my build. The major problem so far has been fixing the bail to the bottom panel! What a beast!
Anyway, it occurs to me (and has often occurred to me) why do we have to reform the pins on ICs? How come they aren't manufactured the "right" shape? I go into ESD-panic mode every time I have to re-form them and some have been a complete pain to match up to their socket. Anybody got a fool-proof, first-time technique for this? (Having spent six months studying the manual before starting has distinct advantages by the way....) Regards to all, Pete, g0pks. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
