I have not been involved as I have wanted to be because I am rebuilding my workshop so that it is also configured for surface mount work. Also I am upgrading my existing test equipment and finishing off a few projects capacitor/inductance tester,7400/4000 tester. Current Equipment : Ferrograph test set RTS2 and ATU1 modified for RCA connections XLR will be next and recal at 3Khz for w&F and drift. Nakamichi T1000 recap and calibration BNC connectors for scope. Digital/Analogue in- out interface for digital audio. Leader RF generator with Frequency counter + BNC sockets fitted Leader sweep generator BNC sockets to fit. Leader FM Stereo Generator Recal and RCA and BNC sockets Fitting Sony Audio Generator and Distortion Analyser. Finishing a clean current limited stabilised PSU for working on WMD6C and other Walkmans ( ongoing Project). I am also waiting to get hold of the cassette master jig. The bench also requires an upgrade on the fume extraction and a home for my ultrasonic cleaner. My workshop is in a concrete garage so it needed damproofing and insulating. The power is in as well as a Network My FM Aerial,TV and Satellite feeds are also needed. So as you can see this is going to be my winter project I will keep reading the posts and comment when i can.
Hello and welcome! Ooh you're not a million miles away from me, be good to have someone who repairs stuff reasonably local (30+ miles away still!)
Hi there Gordon & welcome to S2G We're looking at buying a place around your way in the not-too-distant future...
Welcome to the forum! Please post photos of your test bench, it sounds very interesting. We need to start a test bench thread, some of the tools of the trade are kind of cool.
