We carry a lot of ICs that aren't on our web site. A local drove over tonight to pick up a WD1791 floppy drive controller chip and a couple of 7407 buffers.
The result? A TRS-80 Model 16 computer lives and boots again!

You never know what to expect when you work on a board that was "repaired" by another tech.
This time it was a Galaga boardset. Not only did it have a bad 74LS107 being used as a clock divider (bad bond wire inside the chip package), it had three resistor packs that were not soldered down to the board. The tech put them on the board, but left legs unsoldered.
Have you ever had to follow behind another tech and fix their work?

Collecting odd pieces of test equipment means storage and organization are a must... But when you need them they are nice to have around.
No green light = bad crystal. Hard part is finding a 10.475MHz one to fix an old HTX-252 2-meter amateur radio and I've emailed about a half dozen companies. I picked that radio up in the original box in like new condition from Computer Reset years ago.
