I still have a couple of projects I assembled in
the late 1970s as a
teen... I used a cheap RatShack pencil iron - they _do_ look like they
were assembled with a hot brick. One is a TVT 6-5/8. I keep meaning
to clean that one up but haven't found the time to do it.
Weird. I've always been complimented on my soldering, even though I've
always used a Ratshack Special.
