Amiga 2000 battery PCB and CPU socket damage

Is there an estimated price for the RGB-Componet convertor yet?

[spaceman88]

Yup, nice idea.

I used a simple solder vacuum like this one:


And some wick to finish the job.

The liquid flux also gave a strong hand to clean the pads while re-tinning.

I flushed the flux with a vaporised flux remover.

Looks like the one I have, the shop I worked at bought a half dozen in the late 1980's.

Yup... Still sold at your local electronic store in 2016!

I'm looking for a real Weller unsolder tool with integrated vaccum but that's expensive! I choose a nice Weller solder iron instead with variable temp. control.

Most of my tools we're bought back in 1999-2000 when I did my degree in electronics. Still top shape.

Only my old Scope "Tektronix 485B" was replaced by a digitial Rigol DS1102E. It's not a Tektronix but still does a very nice job for a fraction of the price.

Yeah, I also still my Leader 523 scope that I used at the shop. When it closed in 1999 we all got to keep our equipment.
