I picked up a Retro Chip Tester Pro kit from J&M Consulting (https://AmericanRetro.shop) while at VCF East. Considering I have repair projects that will likely need chips to be tested, let's take both livestreams this week to put it together!

Will I get halfway by the end of the stream? How many components will fall out during the night? And will I have to pull out Clarus the Desoldering Station? You'll have to watch to find out!
