I like creating electronics related YouTube videos. I mostly buy faulty gear from Ebay and make a repair video of it,
but it's expensive and so with your help maybe I can continue to do so.
If you have any faulty test gear you don't want or going cheap then please contact me. Your support would be greatly appreciated.

Quick News.............

17/01/22 - PDVS2mini's are out of stock. I am currently evaluating my stock of parts for the next batch and whether I will be affected by the semiconductor crisis. Please use the NOTIFY ME link on the PDVS2mini page to register your email address so you will be notified automatically as soon as stock is available.
