In this video I show how I build the 4164 DRAM tester that I sell while also giving some basic soldering advice. Following some of my soldering tips & tricks should definitely help you in the long run when working on your own soldering skills. I also talk about channel giveaways. I'd like to start giving away Commodore related items to start with. This could be something as simple as a Cartridge to as cool as a fully restored working C64. Watch the video for more information.
