DIY intro article feedback thread

jasonhanjk: The solder is sold on the rack below all the soldering irons etc. You have to look for it. Don't ask the shop assistants for silver solder, they will only show you the Goot silver solder.

 

adhoc: Silver is added to solder, not for it's conductivity nor is it because silver oxide is more conductive than copper oxide.

It's for soldering silver plated conductors because normal solder will wick the silver plating off. OTOH, adding a bit of silver prevents the silver from being wicked off the conductor.

Okay jasonshanjk is too long, call me jason,

 

wow that's even longer than jasonshanjk LOL.

 

Back to the point - could we add more DIY info please. Where can I get 9mm Alps Pot in Singapore? Also want to know if anyone knows where to get DH Labs RCA's in Singapore.

And thirdly, do any of the shops in SLT sell op-amps? Fourth, where can I get solid core teflon insulated hook up wire of say 23 AWG? I would also like to know where I can get right angled switchcraft 1/8 inch connectors?
