I dont have a question for this post...Instead is a General Comment that I would like to share..
I remember when I was young(er....im 24 now)...My dad brought me to a radio shack and bought me the "Experimenter 300" from ARCHER. This solderless breadboard is great, and I still have that same board many years later (about 8 years) and use it all the time.
The reason why I use it all the time is because it seems now that the majority (if not all) of these boards come from China. I purchased many, and I am constantly disappointed in the quality of these boards. And there is nothing worse than building a huge circuit that doesn't work, and then you have to probe line by line to find the bad "hole"...
I wish I had more of these boards from ARCHER, but unfortunately they are a thing of the past. I have 2, and I will keep them until they don't conduct anymore lol
I cant really explain it, when you add components to these old boards they grab the leads better and contact resistance isn't really ever a problem. Some of the boards i've bought off of ebay and elsewhere, you wonder if the leg of what you've added is even connected at all. On top of that, they feel flimsy and just crappy all over.
Just something to share...
Oh, and thanks for all your help with all of my questions and idea from time to time. You guys are great!!!
