HMMMMM? And to think I've been dealing with a jewelers set of screw drivers (gold of course) and a sledge hammer for years, you mean I need more? BC |

You covered the basics well, Lon. Don't forget to remove watches and other conductive materials from your hands and wrists! |

Larryb - Do you want to know what a CB service technician uses, or what most hobbyists have on hand? |
