Actually, Gary, I'm cheaper than you are. I save the leads from caps and
resistors and use then for jumpers or fuses. I use a dremel tool to make
the solder take to the end and hold the leads with hemostats.
You make a good point to mention the time involved in putting the set
together and moving it off the bench. It takes a heck of a lot of
inventory to cut down on doing that. I'm not just talking about fuses.
I have 95% of the parts I need for repair, but it has taken a lot of time
and money to build it up. Still, when I find a new part, I order for
stock as well.
I've mentioned this before, but for the new guys, I say it again. I have
kept a parts log of everything I have ordered for at least the past five
years. I also write down parts I am low on and need to reorder, so when
I place an order I don't forget the restock items. Of course, I still
find things later the same day that I need to order. The two biggest
advantages of the data base is a quick check to see if it is in stock
(for parts I don't instantly recognize) and for pricing out of invoices.
