Never Use an Outlet Power Supply
!!!TOO MUCH CURRENT!!!
Do NOT take a Corded
power supply and power
Circuits. Extreme Danger!
This Power supply states
that it is 6 Volts, 300 mA.
Firstly, that is WAY TOO
MUCH ENERGY for the
components.
Secondly, this power supply might
‘say’ that it is 6 Volts, but in reality,
when measured, it is 10.8 Volts! 9

Paperclip FIXING Pieces
Let’s say we have a ‘broken’ Resistor,
that we cut from a circuit board.
We can crimp paperclips onto the legs
of the broken Resistor to rebuild them.
We Harvested this Resistor Use Needle Nose Pliers
From a Circuit To Straighten the Legs
