Title: crack resistance check problem [resolved]
Post by: damnub on January 01, 2016, 07:20:03 AM

hello!

I finely finished my bottlehead crack build and it was a lot of fun. it was the first time actually soldering a project and im planning to do it again in the future:). but when i came to the resistance check everything but one was as it should have been. the terminal 6 is very off when it should have been 2,4k ohm. it gives between 2k and 30k but sometimes it sits steadily at 2,3k (where it shoud be) for  a few seconds. does any one know what causes this? is the capacitor broken? I can take a picture but that should take a while since my phone just broke.. but if its needed ill find something else. thanks for any suggestions

This sounds a lot like you may have a flaky solder joint making an intermittent connection.  You do not have a broken capacitor.
