You can take that short hop to central Texas and help repair a harness hack job that was done by a PO...

Look at this beauty! ![]() Bought this a good while ago... old blow torch with a soldering iron. You can't see the the wooden handle, it's above the picture. I haven't actually tried to use it yet... seals and gaskets are probably bad. Will have to try it sometime soon, see how it goes.

So I practiced on some already ruined electronics I had laying around. The point on this iron is no good, because there is very little heat transfer. I have ordered a chisel tip to alleviate that problem. My God does it heat up faster than those crappy pencil ones I'm used to. |

The chisel tip might be OK for removing stuff, but for soldering in a chip, the pencil tip should be OK. You don't want to kill the chip by overheating it. You don't need a lot of heat to get fresh solder to flow. |
