Hey Wayne,   Not sure you were joking with that de-soldering process.  As a
POS field tech during the early 70's, I had to troubleshoot and repair
generation-1 mini-computers to the component level in grocery stores. 
Picture performing each of those desoldering steps while standing at a
checkout lane at a busy Ralph's, or sitting cross-legged on the floor of a
dirty office.  And don't forget the mods to the wire-wrap boards and fixing
the paper tape readers on the ASR-33 TTY consoles.  Those were certainly
[NOT] the days!  Thanks for the chuckle and memories! 

73 ES GOD BLESS U ES URS DE KEN N4OI
