I just started end of last year to repair stuff for others and buy/recycle discarded TVs etc.
Apart from capacitors what are the most common components I should have in stock? I do have common parts like MosFets, bipolar transistors, schottkys TVS etc. But it seems many repairs require me to buy components I do NOT have. Mostly special semiconductors.
For common faults there are repair kits, but I don't want to stock all of them of course.
I live in a small town (<100k pop) and there won't be that many customers.
Many parts, if I don't want to pay a lot I would have to buy from China over ebay for example. Takes several weeks.
How do you handle this? Maybe not the professional TV/Laptop guys but people like me with max 5 to 10 units per month.
