    Quoted from algrande:

    Don't have a clue why this is there???

    That's an isolation transformer that Canada required to be installed on imports from America. It just wastes electricity, remove and sell on Ebay.

    Quoted from uncivil_engineer:

    I saw this today on ebay.. someone put a lot of work into this.

    I would buy this but he forgot to socket the oscillator, that's a deal breaker.

    Quoted from Robotworkshop:

    Honestly I don't know what someone was/wasn't thinking as they hacked this board.

    It looks like they were steeling parts from this board and didn't care about the damage they were causing.

    Quoted from someotherguy:

    I'd say it could definitely be fixed, but "rainy day" for sure

    I'm thinking a couple rainy days for sure.

    Quoted from JayDee:

    Nope. 60amps are even better. Little bit snug on the fit but they will never blow

    This iron speeds up the on the job repairs by soldering all the header pins at the same time. When every second counts, count on this american beauty. It can also be used for self defence!
