    I suspect that the soldering of the socket being that way is due to ROHS, with lead-free solder tinning on the pins requiring somewhat more heat than lead-based solder does. I would agree that the 50V rating on the capacitor is a bit much, but having salvaged a LOT of parts, I have a great many of these, and very few of any lower voltages. It seems like most of the electrolytics that I have under 10uF are 50V parts, all the way down to 0.1uF! In assembling that stuff, I would have put the resistors in first, then the socket. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I just subscribed. Hope you don't mind, I took a screenshot of the schematic for the 4060. It looks similar to one I did about twenty years ago with that very same chip. Fun to work with.

    Julian, how about something like this for your IC needs
    Search "RW-8920" at reichelt

    i also always used the "bend the pins on the desk" variant but its way more fun with this tool

    I wonder what has happened to C1-C3 ๐Ÿค”

    Love the kit builds! I hope you keep them in the line up.

    Thanks for the use of that little oscilloscope. I don't own a real scope, however I have always wanted one going back to my attempt to complete the Bell and Howell correspondence course in TV Repair back in 1970, my attempt was rudely interrupted by the U.S. Government with a letter from the draft board, and a visit to a small South East Asian country called The Republic of Viet Nam. Never did get back to the course. So at any rate, I did build a very small scope that does only DC, and is limited to around 5 volts thanks to the Nano that is driving it. It uses the Nokia monochrome screen in blue, and is pretty much just a toy but you can do a bit of trouble shooting with it in a pinch. So I thought, perhaps that the scope you built in your video might be a device I could afford, and build. Also size is of the essence since I have limited room for toys in our 35 foot RV which is home for a good part of the year as we chase the 70 degree F mark in an attempt to stay comfortable, and see the wonders of America, one campground at a time.

    Greetings and salutations from the Mohave Desert in Arizona! Just a note about the component tester; I have one very much like yours, but on a red board and slightly different layout. For devices that are difficult to put in the jaws of testing, I use alligator clips, clipping on the external spots then to the device to be tested. Makes life much easier and quicker when testing lots of components.

    Hi Julian. Is this by any chance the Banggood 'scope that had the faulty display? If so was there a fix video that I missed?

    the DS0138 looks interesting. Has Julian done a video on previously?

    you should put affiliate links in your description
