I bought it from Meunier Electronic Supply http://www.meunierusa.com/pricing/default.htm I think it was around 52 quid. The pencil's a Hakko 921M-V12; I also bought the conical tip 920-T-I for a few more quid.

Well I haven't gotten to the SE/30 board yet, but I was planning to flux the caps first and then use a solder sucker in conjunction with the Hakko. I can say the Hakko has worked much better than my other two-wire pencil (It heats up faster and seems to take less time to melt the solder and less time means less heat).
