It depends on power consumption rating, and also types of uses!

Good job as usual.Well, induction cooker is not common ever here,I've not seen one before.We use conventional "hot plate". Which of the two is energy conserving.Just for the asking!

I´d never found a problem with reverse terminals in components. It´s a surprise for me. On the other hand, I´ve encountered many components with rusted terminals. Poor quality! Anyhow, a beautiful work - greetings. An "almost condemned" device was brought again to life. Thanks for sharing

Because I often use several digital testers it also could have given a wrong result on one of my other testers. It is probably caused by measuring on those special HV transistors that usually have a very low HFE factor. Or in case of the 8050 example given in the article also caused by a low HFE of only 21.

You are very correct! Unfortunately, the buyers like us have no choice! The suppliers are united in all these quality matters!
