Rebuilding a Gameplan MPU-1

coolsville dady-o! ;D
still trying to drop the hint to get the boss to pick up a de-soldering station for at the shop...the ammount of re-working we end up doing would make it worthwhile...guess for now we will stick with the old solda-pult.
SirPeale:
It was like $135 shipped. The money you'll save in time alone makes it worth the purchase price. If your time is worthless, then this machine is not for you.
Heck, get one just for yourself and use it at the shop. Once your productivity picks up 1,000,000% he'll see how worthwhile it is.
Do get extra spring filters and sponge filters. Extra tips wouldn't hurt either - I wore thru one already.
SirPeale:
I may have to just give up on this particular board. The battery damage is very great. So many traces missing. I think it's even missing a few parts. Hard to tell - some spots there are legs with nothing there, but often parts would be trimmed out.
There is a forum dedicated to people who restore Gameplan pins, I may ask them for advice.
SirPeale:
Finally got my shipment from Mouser and started in on repairs.
Rebuilding destroyed traces is such a pain. Not so bad if there are just a couple, but there are many of them.
And I screwed up on ordering sockets. I wanted .6" 28 pin sockets, but ordered .3" instead!
lilshawn:
you would think that since you are ordering .6 chips in quantity, that they would ask to make sure you wanted .3
oh well....
