Should I expect any negative impacts if I used regular resistors in place of SM resistors for this mod?

Almost any scrap board (like an old modem) should have some resistors. I've not had any problems removing components like Rs and Cs using a single Circuit Specialists clone of the Hakko 936 with a 1.6mm chisel tip at 700 degrees. I found the resistors easily slide off after alternately heating each side, but you definitely should practice first. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Buffer-Mod-tp738458p740658.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
