I don't like the idea of a bunch of metal filings flying all over...but
I guess I could put rags close by, then vacuum?

Subject: [Drakelist] Unsoldering Caps
You can fight the solder with heat OR
take the easy way and grind the solder
joint with a Dremmel and cut off disk or
a diamond tipped grinding bit that
Dremmel also supplies. I know Iknow,
some one will bring up dust and the
Mayan Calendar and possible
meteor...........never really an issue
AND the old cap pulls out with the
gentlest of pulls AND there is no old
solder, so the new one fits in easily
AND you have a clean piece of metal to
solder the new one. Or, you can risk
melting wires............I have replaced
caps in 4 rigs and one was with the
soldering iron, solder suckers, solder
wick, wire cutters and the other three
were with the Dremmel. BTW, no melted
wires with any of the 4 rigs.
