[sdiy] parts watch

[Czech Martin]

The SMD-soldering-glueing thing is certainly laborious,
but thermal resistance and capacitance will be low, better
compensation, faster settling....
One leg of the resistor will go to a transistor base, so
basicaly one leg remains for the board...

I think J. Bergfors showed how to do this nicely:

BTW: is he still on the list??

 Well, this news has inspired some wild mood swings...

 At first, I was very excited by the promise of cheap, easy to get
tempcos... but then I discovered that these apparently are surface
mount. 

 A little while later, I got the idea that this might actually be better
than thru-hole resistors, as you could glue a SMD tempco to a
3046/2SC1583/MAT-02 or whatever else you might be using, and solder
wires from the circuit board to the tempco.

 Would this work? TIA for any advice.
