Re: Through Hole PCB repairs with miniature eyelets:
Delco Radio used "eyelets" or as they called them "Griplets" in their car radios.
What a nightmare to track intermittents down in those sets.
The eyelet would develop a microscopic solder crack between the PC land and the board.
A truly evil production method.
We used to just run a short piece of wire thru the "Griplet" and solder each end to the PC land. It took a lot of time, but no callbacks on intermittents.
