Woah is that a 1590a with no side jacks? What is the witchcraft?
What's on the workbench?

It's a tone generator so it only has a single top-mounted output jack... but it does have an internal 9V battery.
There's a pic of the previous revision (before switching to a sub-mini power switch) here:

Where can I find these? I don't recall the specific vendor, but g00gle "pogo pin test clamp" and you'll find joy. (y)

This is nice and all, but I fear that all of these side projects are getting in the way of you completing the work on the EQD Swiss Things, I'd kindly ask that you reexamine your priorities and, if necessary, any related life choices that brought you to this crossroads.

my man!
Am I the only one who thinks the more recent Catalinbread pedal graphics are looking more like the budget “Caline” pedals each release?

He got sick of me telling everyone to go order from GuitarPCB so they could get the free resistor chart.
When you’ve been doing it as long as some of us (over 40yrs myself), not only do you know the CC, you also know the CC of the more common resistors on sight! The 5 band/1% resistors still throw me though since I spent the majority of my life working with carbon comp and carbon film types.

You been doing that?? Jerk.
This is actually the second batch of these, it's just been a little while.

I've only been at it for a little over a year, but I'm getting better at sight reading them. Sometimes I'll pull up troubleshooting threads and try and spot the mistakes for practice.
I have the opposite problem. All my practice is on 5 band. I've been working on some vintage equipment lately and I'm totally confused by the bands.

What about a PCB ruler with components codes and other cheatsheet like data (for example, a diode with A and K at the terminals)?You been doing that?? Jerk.

I'd need one that big, just so I don't lose it.
