POLL: Do you own a soldering iron.

[IronmanE30]

Solder station, Weller gun that I got when I was a kid, Weller iron and butane iron. Wick, solder sucker and some of the good old solder that I find at garage sales. My brother taught me how to solder when I was a kid. Fun stuff that comes in handy seeing that I prefer not to use connectors unless needed.

Cheers,

Jim

Still has replacable heads in the conventional size and is multi heat range but cheap at 40 bones.

Yea some fancey ones since used to install mod chips and fix big tv's from CL when I was bored, now I just use it for E30 joy. Also I run MegaSquirt, if you own MS and have not used or own a soldering iron that is just wrong on so many levels...

I used to own an E28, Ecu saw the soldering on the multiple times. Also did the LED upgrade to my e30 OBC. :)

good upgrade, and easy too.

Only used a soldering iron for wiring guitars, that's about the extent of my skills.

I have a few. At last count, A 200W gun, a 100/120W gun, a weller jr, and a 25w pen. I'm sure there are more, and I have a few external heat soldering devices as well. They old. Real old.

My favorite is phos-copper though. Solder joints < solid copper (N/A to circuitry, i know, I know)

point of this poll?

Market research would be my guess. What's in the works, g.g.?

I blew a resistance when tuning the DC offset on my Yamaha P2200 yesterday. The screwdriver slipped...



Will need to remove a few other components and check if they still read good. I just purchased a spare P2200 for parts anyway. I shall have three of them. Hopefully all working, one day. Those suckers are 30 years old and still running very strong. 230wpc of high fidelity.
