How To Build the Amazing CHEAP DIY Huntron Tracker Octopus PCB Tester Curve Tracer $20 or less

The Huntron Tracker is something of a legend in the electronics repair community. Second hand ones are hard to find and attract a large price tag! I used one back in the 1980s and they are really good for fault finding on all sorts of PCBs. Let's see if we can build a Huntron Tracker clone using a mixture of salvaged components and cheap off the shelf parts, the aim is to keep the cost down to around $20 This video is kindly sponsored by PCBway.
