Old maybe but still one of the quickest ways to prototype so long as you dont need to use surface mount devices.

assuming the joints are good m and they are known to test bad and look good .

>  wire wrap is kinda old school , why  ?

Because for some applications it\'s perfect.

Personally I am not interested in wire wrap , gave it up 30 years ago. Gimmie the smell or rosin in the morning.

Which one? ;)

I wire wrap because I'm not allowed to solder yet.

Thanks for the responses but I'm still looking for some photos of the step by step wire wrap process.

Again, thanks.

Bummer. If you don't solder the ground pins of the sockets to the ground plane of the board, you could end up with a noisy mess.

If you mean by old school, that it is not used anymore, then you are wrong. If rather you mean, that as "Sly and the Family Stone" is old school R&B, but still very relevant and played and danced to in many venues, then you are correct.

Are you claiming that you are in telecomm and haven't used wire wrap in thirty years? If so, I simply don't believe you.

Excuse me?

Images look great. Web page seems dead though.

I used to ( read back) all I do these days is very specific work and have no need of it , make of that what you will .
