Usually Ctrl + F will work. Knowing about good electronic shop practices begins with introduction to the basic tools and test instruments used in electronic repair, production and troubleshooting. It continues with 'hands-on' activity directed towards learning practical skills such as soldering and de-soldering and making connecting leads and cables.

Also knowing how to make printed circuit boards and enclosures is important. As well as, component replacement techniques, testing and troubleshooting. We start below with learning how to solder, an everyday skill needed by anyone in electronics.

- Invest in a good bench-top or handheld multimeter. Look for one with an auto-ranging feature.

This feature allows the meter to automatically adjust to the proper range for testing. Measurements are a little slower than making the changes by hand but offer protection from incorrect switch settings and ease of use. This is particularly true of resistance reading where you may have no idea of where to start.

Expect to pay $50-$150 for a new accurate auto-ranging meter. The second item of importance is an oscilloscope. I feel this is the most important piece of test equipment in the shop. ( It should have an input bandwidth of at least 50 MHz or higher and a dual trace is recommended. A delayed horizontal trigger is also desired to allow viewing of short duration voltage changes.

You should be able to find a good 100 MHz oscilloscope for around $100 at a local hamfest. A frequency counter of at least 100 MHz with an input sensitivity of around 25 Milivolts is the next item needed. A variety of signal generators, transistor test sets, and capacitor test sets will round out your basic test equipment bench.

Try to obtain name brand test equipment. Your initial investment will save you money in the long run as you will not be satisfied long with inferior test equipment.

The soldering iron's tip size and wattage should match the size of the job. If you are working on printed circuit boards a 25 watt pencil sized iron is appropriate with tips 1/8th inch or smaller. Cordless irons work well here and may be less likely to induce unwanted voltages. Bench-top thermostatically controlled irons can be ideal for most work. The temperature of the iron should be adjusted just high enough to heat the part being solder to just above the melting point of the solder. This is usually around 360 degrees F.

The tip temperature will need to be somewhere around 460 to heat the part sufficiently and melt the solder. You must also consider the problems of static discharges with any iron if you are working on circuits with installed sensitive integrated circuits or field effect transistors. You may also need to use a heat sink to protect installed parts from excessive heat. Alligator clips or heat sink clamps will help. The main purpose of the iron is to heat the part being soldered to just high enough temperature to melt the solder. The solder (60/40 tin/lead of.025 to.040 inches in diameter) is place on the part being soldered not the iron. Although briefly touching the solder to the iron tip prior to the actual soldering can be helpful in transferring the irons heat to the part.

Avoid touching the solder to the iron when soldering; touch the solder to the part. This is insurance against a cold solder joint which is to be avoided. A cold solder joint is one where the part was not hot enough to melt the solder and results in a poor connection. Normally the use of a rosin core solder is sufficient for most soldering jobs. Occasionally for larger work adding a separate soldering rosin paste may facilitate a better job.

For larger work a handheld soldering gun is appropriate. Even larger work such as copper water pipes will require the use of a propane torch. For copper water pipes be sure the solder contains no lead. The larger the job the larger diameter solders are appropriate. Regardless of the size of the project the basic principles are the same. The finished soldering job should be smooth and shiny, not dull.

On new printed circuit boards it is often helpful to apply a tin coating to the copper runs to insure all the connections are of low resistance and avoid later problems due to corrosion. -- by Alan Winstanley -- From Elecraft - Click on 'Builder Resources' -- Kit Building Too! -- From Mike WT9W -- From EPE Online -- From W8WWV - From K6MHE -- From SolderIt -- From IZ7ATH, Talino Tribuzio Soldering Guide Test anything with a scope by Homer L.

Some use a door laid flat across some saw horses as a start. Building a real sturdy workbench out of two by four lumber is better. A nice long electrical outlet strip is also most a must.

You can see what I mean in the picture at the left. The outlet strip is just below the row of colored plastic bins. Muramatsu Serial Numbers. A shelf on your workbench to hold your test equipment is also nice. Also, notice the light above the workbench - also a must. You can also add swinging lamps as well. If you can afford it you can purchase a nice workbench like in the picture already built. A good sturdy stool or chair is a must as well.

Lots of additional shelving and storage boxes will help you sort out parts you may have and keep the labeled for easy location when you need them. Try to keep your workbench free after you complete a job or project. Otherwise you will end up with no bench top space left to start new projects.

That is why additional shelf and storage is a must. If you follow these rules you will have a nice looking as well as an efficient place to work. Electrostatic protection of delicate high speed IC's should be considered also when constructing your work space. Carpet on the floor is a no-no because of static electricity it can generate. Also add a waste basket and a metal storage bin or cabinet of some sort to store chemicals. You will collect control cleaner, glues and various other chemicals that need proper and safe storage A separate workbench could be added for drilling and other metal working.

A nice vise, grinding wheels, and drill press are necessary at times for building metal enclosure boxes. Enjoy your new workbench and work space!

Sayre•; Norm Dye, et al. Television means 'seeing at a distance'.

It may be described as a system for the conversion of light rays from still or moving scenes and pictures into electric signals for transmission or storage, and subsequent reconversion into visual images on a screen. Basically the image formed by the camera lens is focused on a light sensitive material that is scanned in horizontal lines with each line following closely beneath it. The light intensity (and color) is converted into an electrical signal and transmitted over the air or through cables to a receiver. The 'TV' receiver converts the electrical signals back into scan lines traced on a cathode ray tube (CRT).

The fluorescent material on the face of the CRT is activated by the CRT's scanning electron beam to re-form the picture.

FORMULAS: I = V/R V = I*R R = V/I P = V x I I = P/V V= P/I P = V^2/R R = V^2/P Series resistance formula: Rt = R1 + R2 + R3 + R., etc. Total power in a series circuit: Pt = P1 + P2 + P3 + P. Resistance's in parallel: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + 1/R., etc.

Kirchhoff's Law - The algebraic sum of the currents into any point of the circuit must equal the algebraic sum of the currents out of that point. Time vs frequency: Time T = 1/f or f = 1/T Wavelength = velocity/frequency Inductance in series or parallel: same formula as resistance's with L substituted for R. Series capacitance: use formula for parallel resistance and substitute C for R.

Parallel capacitance: use formula for series resistance and substitute C for R.
