Jim -
I love my HAKKO 808. I've had it about three years or so, and it's hard
to beat for PC board work. I still use a GC "Solder Aid", pointed probe
on one end and slotted pin probe on the other that solder will not stick
to, two or three sizes of "Soder-Wik" braid, and two sizes of
"Solda-Pult" spring vacuum desoldering tool.
The HAKKO is terrific for desoldering "thru-hole" component leads, while
the braid works better on surface mount, sometimes with the aid of a
piece of #30 enameled wire, and the solder aid and spring vacuum
desolderer is best for tube gear. All work well at what they do best.

looked at Hakko and Xytronics. Looking for options of what is a good
solution.
Thanks to all who respond.
