Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

After finding some useful data on this site in the past I have finally registered as blown monitors seem to keep finding me; you will always have friends when they know you can fix their blown monitors.
I got my first soldering iron in 1958 and haven't stopped repairing things ever since. After a short time in military electronics testing moved into geophysics then geology before returning to electronics in the form of component distribution. Soon found that product failures come from bad management rather than bad components...
