Circuit board repair

[Wayne] sent along this interesting read on circuit board repair. Even if you’re not uh, repairing, it’s interesting to get some ideas for modification techniques. Pictured is a DIP IC that’s been placed upside-down over the old one with a set of jumper wires. I can only aspire to produce solder joints that look that nice. Good stuff.
Just so the Unofficial Team-Hack-A-Day guys don’t crucify me, they too have been making their own shirts. Thanks [mastershake916].





nice looking site, i’m half-tempted to rip it all now before it’s a pay site :P
most of this stuff though would help me more at work where we have real PCBs, not hand-made proto-perfboards like I do at home. …but there it’s usually cheaper to just replace the whole thing.
if you make your own boards or get them made this is one sweet guide
