Yes, there's tons of stuff on eBay but not exactly what I'm looking for. I've literally spent the entire day looking for one of those part numbers without having to spend more than about $20. I can get the Aoyue 936 for like $30-$35 and 937 for under $50 shipped I'd say. Spending $35 on a tip...

Back in the early to mid 90s, I was an on-road R/C racer. In the tons of gear that I had to collect in order to be competitive, I bought a really nice soldering station. Ungar UTC-300. Well a few years back, Weller bought Ungar and pretty much dissolved them and their name. So, now that I'm...

Re: Enough reading and searching ... Will this wor Yes, I will be making my own heatsink .. lol I'm a machinist. But thanks for noticing. I thought about adding that in the last edit. Ok, let me get this straight, just a little vague still. (And yes, I know ... I was saying "AAA" just for a...

First build and I'm hoping it will be a good and learning experience. I'm in the think-tank and trying to finalize my build / parts decisions. Someone please correct any mistakes I have before I buy too much more stuff. Here's the shopping list with a couple of enclosed questions: - PHR-803T...

Gun stock replacement .... Was this build using a "K-VAR" AK bullpup stock set? It looks just like one I saw years ago but I can't find them anymore.

Thanks guys. Think I'll go spend some money now. ;D ;D ;D

Hey guys. Going to start planning my first DIY. Think I may go ahead and get a Kryton host. Been doing some reading and asking around, think 16xDVD is the diode of choice. Question is: What brand? There's really no avenue for me to get one really really cheap so thought I'd just find a...
