Hi Rob,
I just received another kit for xmas, the component tester.
I must be a sucker for punishment 
I must say, the assembly instructions are underwhelming to say the least.
most of it seems clear enough, did you have any problems assembling yours?
cheers
Roy.
EDIT.
I just found an online pdf instruction sheet, it's in chinglish but meh.

Hi Roy

aye there not the best instructions , mine went together with only two problems

, first was a faulty battery lead ,so I had to replace that , and the second was down to me
not being able to find the on/off switch

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, you have to press the rotary encoder

My function generator kit arrived today ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it needs a +12 -12 and 5v power supply to run it

Cheers Rob
PS John ,Joules I have some 6.3mm carbon arc rods
