Still struggling to replace the switching transistor for the aerial
input feeds on my Toppy:-( Surface mount in a limited access space.

Oops. Posted before finished!

My hard drive is nearly full anyway so mostly I am just re-watching
recorded stuff.

Sorry mate, we just haven't been out in the car since we last spoke
and certainly not that far / direction. ;-(

If there was a day that looked like it wasn't going to rain and I
bought my gear and folding table, I'd just need an extension lead in
your back garden and the Toppy for a socially distanced repair. ;-(

Cheers, T i m

p.s. Is this what it looks like?:

This wasn't a complaint! My only experience of delicate outdoor
soldering was on top of a London high rise office block. The window
cleaner's platform hoist had lost an a/c switch. The pre-thermostatic
soldering iron kept cooling off in the breeze:-(

Q14 is the kiddy. I also bought some 2N4404 as they come with legs but,
even sharpened to a point, my tackle is too clumsy.

You could be as distant as you like in the old garage:-)
