A real proper desoldering station is something Ive not invested into here. I have a hot air gun that I use to reflow my own SMD-base PCBs, desoldering tweezers and manual vacuum pumps but no proper station ... dont know why I did not get one after all these years :) LMS 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
