[sdiy] My first failure (4069 VCO)!

[The Peasant]

Congratulations, Charles!!!

Your first DIY failure is an important and joyful event, to 
be celebrated with much merriment. This occasion officially 
marks the beginning of your self-education in electronic 
troubleshooting and repair. Yes, I know that you thought 
you were learning to *build* things, but really you will 
end up learning a lot about *fixing* things in the end. But 
that's ok, knowing how to repair equipment is a handy skill 
to have! ;-)=

Take care,
Doug
