This makes sense, Damon.
After all,...they got it down there (or up there),...so let THEM get it
back, at least onto the cement driveway, where you can handle it from there.
Also,....yes,...I have taken extra test equipment to the home. Even designed
a Circular Mag light that I can set on the floor, and work on printed ckts
just like on the bench. It's not a comfortable thing to do,....but, I
learned how to stand on my head in a corner a long time ago. This should be
a requirement for anybody getting into this business, anyway.
