    Transistor secrets
    Is there a reason why there is a need to connect a powerful resistor to the base pin of a transistor, other than the base has a lower maximum current rating?

    On circuits bought within some appliances, I see the transistor base pins are connected to a powerful resistor, usually within the 1000s of ohm, and this is enough to make current almost non-existant on a reader... why does the base resistor need to be that powerful?

    1_is it to prolong the transistor to its maximum life span?
    2_is it that each transistor has a SPECIAL amperage that makes it turn on and off, other than that maximum base current rating?

Resoldering wires in transistor radio [ 4 Answers ]

I found an old Channel Master transistor radio (from around 1960) and had it working. However, when I went to clean it (it was filthy), I pulled a wire loose from the circuit board. In the process of getting to the broken wire I pulled several more loose. I resoldered wires I was certain of, and...
