RE: [sdiy] TO-92 sockets

[rdrake]

i _lightly_ solder a couple of resistor lead clippings to the board, then use alligator jumpers to clip in trannies for testing.  still have to unsolder, but only once. 

just did this on two MFOS noise cornucopias over the weekend, worked great.  fantastic module, btw.
