Removed the recently installed old defective devices and soldered in the
new ones and bolted the case together and in my haste to see if they
worked forgot to tighten the heat sink 4/40 nuts and touched the key and
heard a high pitched squeek as the $19 (plus $8.95 postage ) matched
devices bit the dust.
This cheap partially built K2 flea market find is becoming time consuming
and expensive. Laying around for 18 years in the open has made the dust
and nicotine covered solder pads a bit oxidized and harder to solder.
Sometimes a bargain is not the bargain it appears to be.
