Wow. I'm
speechless. That is one amazing repair. I think it's high time for
me to smash my piggy-bank, raid my bank account and buy a nice soldering
station :-)
I've just come to the conclusion that my Antex XS is far too overpowered for
repair work. It's great for stripboard (Veroboard) assembly, though. The
solder I'm using has a melting point of 340 C (IIRC). The iron heats up to
450 C (according to Antex) and seems to have no temperature regulation
whatsoever...
Later.
