--- Quote from: pbj on May 20, 2020, 01:43:51 pm ---I rigged up a cheap suction bulb iron to some tubing and a shop vac on a foot switch. Worked great for pulling 40 pin chips off an old pinball driver board. Cost me about $30 in materials. Bad part was the shop vac pulled solder further up the metal shaft than I think is normal and at one point I had to put it in the BBQ to get it red hot and pour out the solder. On the other hand, $30. --- End quote --- PBJ solutions may cause unexpected problems, but don't worry, because there are PBJ solutions for that. |

I got the cheaper one and it works decently enough. I was able to get it apart and since I will probably not do this a whole lot, it should be good for me. I had to kind of loosen the pins after de soldering but they finally broke free. Thanks for the advice all. J_K_M_A_N |
