silvestrons bits and bytes | Teardown and fix this RCA Transistor Tester from 1967! @silvestronsbitsandbytes | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This RCA WT-501A Transistor Tester dating back to 1967 was a very neat find at an antiques place recently, so I had to pick it up. Turned out a bit crustier inside than I was expecting! Let's get it working.

I am NOT an expert, I have genuinely NO idea what I'm doing, and mostly just glue things together and use a lot of Google-fu until stuff works. I've been tinkering with electronics since I was a kid but have no formal training and will probably do things incorrectly. If you learn something from this, that's awesome, but trust me - I'm learning too!
