I have another pile of Potential Regrets™ taking up room on my workbench, because the Wheel of Regrets™ has been busy... or something like that. But it would be really nice if I could file these parts away, even if that file is the repair pile. Because sometimes failure is the only option (especially when old tantalum capacitors are involved).
How many items will work? How many items will go into the repair pile? And how many temper tantalums will we have? You'll have to watch to find out!
