Good point Perry. But Mini vans have Mini Room, so I carry 1 plastic fishing
tackle box....with one bag of RCA parts, various resistors/capacitors and
various parts used in various brands....it works for me
Obviously the RCA bag is inundated with a lot of 169 parts....but little to
no 170/180/190/200 series of parts.
I have to keep a large part of the van open to shuttle units between stores.
....and all my backup equipment...
