Doug:
If you send me the photo, I'll put it up in the Construction area of
www.cliftonlaboratories.com as it might be of interest to Z90 builders
as well.

I've found the 1394 to be useful, too.
Do we have a photos area? I could put up a picture of the base I
constructed which is just a small chassis with the stock Hakko holder
screwed to it, a lighted AC switched socket so I don't have to
actually unplug the thing, and small screws up through the chassis to
act as posts to store the extra tips. It makes the 808 even more
convenient.

John,
There are finer tips for the Hakko 808. The A1003 tip is much smaller
(about half the diameter) than the standard one supplied. I have
rarely had to pull out the role of Chem-wick to get a component out -
but it happens occasionally.

don't like it. I hardly ever use it anymore. I have come to much prefer 1/10"
Chem-wick for any desoldering that I have had to do.
