Re: Spectrum Analyser
A few SMT parts and a pair of tweezers and you can have endless fun playing microtiddleywinks.
If you use a few 'PostIt' sheets turned upside down, the sticky strip is a good place to put chip resistors etc and not have them scatter. You can even write values with arrows pointing to the parts.
Squeeze tweezers together and rub/drag the ends backwards on a piece of wood. Aim to bend them just a little and then bend them back. Turn them and repeat. This sounds bizarre but it matches the tips so that they agree on where to meet.
I work with this stuff for a living, so I had to develop ways of not having to chase the things all over the scenery. That done, they're quite manageable.
