Lack of multimeters.

*GRUMBLE* It's darn well near impossible to troubleshoot my circuits without a blasted multimeter. Can't tell whether my components are working or not anyway.

Anyway, on a different note, I've got a portable TV that I very stupidly hooked up to too much voltage. I can't get it to turn on anymore. Maybe a regulator or something simple like that is busted, I don't have the patience to find out. It doesn't have a case anymore but everything seems intact. Anyhoo, I'm giving it away for free. I just ask for whoever claims it to pay for shipping. EMAIL me if you want it. (I'll only answer this address: wasted.druid@gmail.com)
I'd say it was first come first serve, but I'm susceptible to bribes.

No! It won't help him, he should give it to me instead :p

Just to let everyone know, the portable TV has already been claimed. *Grins as everyone kicks themselves for being too slow.* Good luck with my next giveaway event!

Basic multimeters are cheap. If all you need is continuity and voltage, you can pick one up for $10 or $20 at Radio Shack.

Damn how I hate Radio Shack. But they're a necessary evil.
