Heavy duty helping hand
This is shown in Photograph 15 holding a small PCB to enable the components to be placed and then with it swung down, Photograph 16, the board is positioned so that the leads can easily be soldered. If there was a need to hold two parts together whilst they were being soldered then each one could be held in a clamp with these being positioned to bring the parts together for soldering or brazing. A magnifying glass could easily be incorporated making it a heavy duty version of that commercially available.
Use on the Faceplate assembly and balancing fixture.
Photograph 17 shows the system on the faceplate balancing fixture being used in the assembly mode.
