Re: [motm] Re: Voltmeter & Soldering Iron

2003-08-29 by J. Larry Hendry

My wife built a 1/5 MOTM-800 EG and she had never touched a soldering iron.
Yes, the EG does work. :) You can do it. :)  Personally, I use Fluke meters.
Not because there is anything wrong with the others, but my experience has
been they are bullet proof.  I have a typical 3.5 digit great for most
applications (model 77 no longer made I have had it so long).  I also picked
up a used 6 digit meter for my bench which I have enjoyed immensely for
matching resistors and precise work.  However, new they are in the
$1300-1500 range.  I found mine used in excellent condition for $275.

I have decided, perhaps foolishly, I might be able to pull off a 1/5 or 2/5
difficulty kit without burning the house down or irreparably damaging
multiple digits.

 What makes is do-able is the simple fact that Paul has created the ultimate
kit.  Great instructions, everything you need, and really good explainations
of  the circuits.
