Getting In Too Deep

I'd like to thank everyone for the End of the Year donations.  It really helped, now I am looking at getting some additional hardware to tinker with.

Then the internal pin connector sets deeper into the plastic. The microExt USB cable internal contacts pushes down on the connector co

Since a number of requests have been made, and considering others that may not be fortunate enough to obtain the videos.  I have dropped the price.  I cannot say how long they will be reduced, but you may wish to take this opportunity. Several projects are in the works -   Book based training Write a technical manual that covers repairs as well a principles and typical problems. By model    Classroom based training. 2 -Facilities available- Chicago, IL area, and Charlotte, NC area This avails the opportunity for internationals wanting to attend. Major airports direct from Europe and some Asian countries. 30 seat classroom, projector, whiteboard and course materials.  Those attending the course will be given the standard tool set that I use, and will be trained using them. This is to make sure everyone in on the same page and not to need a tool, and don't have it. Traveling attendees should 'check in' items in their luggage.  TSA is not friendly with some items. (oh
