Well, I bit the bullet on a brand new Volt at $29k Saturday. The used one was sold before I could trek up to the dealer (about 2 hours away), but at $29k I got a pretty decent price. First...

It's probably a matter of time before someone more knowledgeable swings by and explains it more thoroughly, but this sounds like an exercise in futility. Maybe not impossible, but it will most...

Yep, no problem buying 60/40. The issue is with production parts needing to be RoHS compliant, home-gamers are free to use whatever they want, and 60/40 is definitely the way to go. Lead-free solder...

Mejunkhound, I think you should go for it, with some caveats. I would do the transport in AC. Otherwise you will need something like 4-6-awg cable at 200vdc to keep losses reasonable, all the way to...
