Hi Tonny,

Thanks for the interesting PDF, but did you mean to put it here? What would you like Elektor to do with it?

Best regards,

JC

I have been thinking in opening a business in repairing eletronic stuff. With this giveaway I would have a pretty nice jump-start.

I was just undecided between the welder station and the iFixit Toolkit, and ended up deciding the second.

Thank you for this opportunity for participating in this giveaway. :D

Hello Joao,
It is worth considering what you intend to fix and what tools you need. During the Covid 19 lockdown in England, our Sony TV stopped working. Off came the back of the TV to discover three PCBs using my AC power indicator stick I discovered DC on on all the boards. After a bit of e bay looking around I found the the main mother board cost about sixty euros. Here ends my interest in trying to fix our Sony 43 inch Smart TV. We purchased a new LG TV on line for three hundred euros.

Good luck with your with your business

Regards
Gary Hodkinson

Hello Gary,Thank you for your comment.

Yes, it is true that sometimes it's just not worth the effort or money to repair the eletronics, and your story is a good reminder when entering the repairing business, but I will enter this business thinking in doing in what can be done.

I will have your story in mind, before opening the case of an eletronic device.

Thank you again for your attention. :)

With best regards,
João Palrinhas

I'd be able to find a lot of uses for the JT-RD6006 power supply, at the moment I'm using wall warts, batteries, old phone chargers and converted computer PSU's, anything I can find.

This piece of kit will be a lot more professional.

I've been using a Weller WECP 20 for about 38 years and it's still working very well. Due to the fact I'm now switching between normal (thru hole) components and smd components I have to coole down my Weller and change tips every time. Therefor I would be very much interested in the Weller WT1010 soldering station which will probably last even for the next generation. That way speeding up my work without the changing of tips every time.

This Wt1010 would be very welcome as I'm still using a WTCP iron on the old old station.
Just a transformer in a blue box with banana busses to connect the iron.
I guess it's from around 1978.
