for people that have to test transistors every day...

[birt]

there's this great little tool: http://www.peakelec.co.uk/acatalog/jz_dca55.html

tells you pinout, gain, leakage, type... of any transistor, fet or diode
i know what my next buy will be.



oh i've already got the esr tester, it helps quite a bit in my tube amp repairs.

not an outrageous price really, will it work fine for germanium transistors?
