on 02024-06-04#PlayWithJunk #video: most useful tool for #electronics #hardware repairs is a simple Huntron Tracker curve tracer or “VI curve tester”. Includes very simple schematic with a transformer and three resistors, labeled “#Octopus in-circuit component tester”, though it seems to me like it would not work very well and might actually blow up your scope if the circuit under test had a ground connection. He demonstrates using it to diagnose a blown PSU, desoldering components with an electric-air-pump solder sucker, something I’ve never seen before
