    I did make a connection mistake when replacing components, I caught it before applying power for the first time, but I also left the error in the video as a info tidbit for those who will be working on this unit. It would be an easy mistake to make, as you will see, but I am sure it would at least affect the units functionality and accuracy, and at worst cause some component damage.

    i think i would use a sucker ball on terminal strips. wick for pc boards. true, j-std soldering dooesnt require wrapping wires like in the old days.

      Good points about solder removal, everyone is free to use what hey are comfortable with, and can afford, I just decided to spring for a solder / desolder station, but I also often use wick dabbed with a bit of no clean flux since its's 35 years old, and it seems to still do the job well. Granted, point to point wire wrap connections were the standard on a LOT of electronic devices back then, they at least allowed some ability to connect and disconnect wiring on a boards topside to get to remove or reposition it to get to the foil side, but, proper tools and technique were never really developed and shared over time for handling them. I came from a field of telecom equipment installation and repair, where I was well versed in handling them with proper tools ( provided by the company - but can be purchased, or, I did make a budget DIY unwrapping tool - info in my "Tech Tips" videos) but they are still widely used in Telecom work for connecting copper circuits from analog voice frequency to digital T1 data speeds, as well as low current power and alarming needs.
