Thanks, Jean, that's good to know. I'll watch for one to come up on EBAY. Beautiful day here...52 degrees F. Snow is all gone... Just took apart a 100 year old button accordian, to restore. It needs a few springs and some new leathers on the pallets. Should be a working instrument in a month or so. Have a good weekend.

Hello list, Just to share....I recently bought a Meterman model LCR55 "component tester"....This happens to be a most usefull tool.....With this, most components (transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors) can be tested directly IN the circuit, without clipping or unsoldering one end. One drawback: capacitance testing is limited to 2000 uf...wich is anyway enough for mostly all caps. from a Rodgers analog. Best regards to all, Jean Moquin, Montréal, QC, area
