Yes. What's wrong with phenolic in this application?


In the future I may just layout a smaller version of my IC breadboard
scheme and get it made on one of the PCB websites.

In my Dad's TV shop I saw so many phenolic failures I'm just resistant

Good point, if you were making a 1960's TV

My Dad's trucks featured a sign, "We Don't Service Muntz" ;-)

LOL

Well, they didn't call him "Madman" Muntz for nothing, you know.


...Jim Thompson

He serviced them for awhile. Then customers started complaining that
my Dad did poor service... as soon as the tubes aged, the reception
degenerated. So he dumped Muntz altogether.

Yeah, I knew exactly what his sign meant and why. Muntz TV sets had
barely enough parts to work at all, which is why they were uber cheap.

"There's something about a Muntz." You be there was; it's only one
step above junk.


Above?
