[R-390] Soldering School

[Bill Hawkins]

Did that troubleshooting school teach the art of dividing the problem in
half, then dividing the bad half, and so on?
Works well for a linear signal processor like a receiver - maybe not so
well for a computer.

Another trick is to start with the power supply and make sure the
voltages are right first. Works well for Tek scopes.

Speaking of Tektronix, anyone interested in saving an early 514 AD (no
rivets) from the dump?

The last 3 weeks were troubleshooting, much of it on equipment I had
never seen. They taught a 7 step troubleshooting method that did not
require you to be an expert on the operation of the equipment in order
to effectively troubleshoot it. Of course you did have to be strong on
schematic reading and analyzing circuits.
