desoldering problems and technique (and amiga 2000 mod)

   Do you
honestly think I would buy anything from RadioShack?  
 Umm Do they sell anything other than solder and a bit of wire? 
I suppose the nearest equivalent we have over here (now all the Tandy 
shops have long gone) is Maplin, who have gone away from being an 
electronic component supplyer :-(.

I don't buy much from them, although I was amazed to find they were one 
of the few places who stocked 38swg enammeled copper wire (In 
sensible-sized reels). . As I needed some [1] what's where I bought it from

On the other hand the only solder they now sell is that lead-free stuff. 
I still prefer the lead-tin alloys.

in an old HP plotter.
