Some weeks ago, I had ordered a simple component tester for checking transistors and capacitors mainly. It seemed to work fine, but attaching it to my regulated power supply every time was a bit awkward.
So, when I found a matching casing in my "electronic shelves" the idea of making it a standalone device was born.
I added a 230AC - 12DC converter, carved out some spaces in the casing with my Dremel and glued everything together. It's not the prettiest thing in the world but works great like this.
