I have suffered through the painful process of removing the enamel on the wire on just about all of the Elecraft kits..K2, K1, KX1, tuner’s etc.. I think I have made them all...just reading the comments here I was wondering why I never bought a solder pot as recommended...I checked out eBay and found several at around $30 USD,,why didn’t I do that 10 -15 elecraftyears ago and save all that frustration?? Chinese made, some 120 volt..perhaps will work for several kits...If I had it to do again..
