I think theres a limit to the amount of temperature cycling any solder joint
can take. The 9" Mac computers, especially the oldest ones, the 128k and 512k
had solder joints that would eventually fail and need touching up. I had to do
this on my Mac Plus at one point, fortunately the point that failed (Ram if I
remember correctly) was noticably different looking than the rest.

Howdy -
The Porsche list has been talking about DME relay failures caused
by
solder joint failures.
Don't know if this is a reflection of German solder or soldering
proceedures, but the control boxes on the 240D & other models (that I'm
less
familiar with) suffer from solder joint failures. Specifically, the
cruise
control controller and the glow plug relay both can be taken apart and
their
solder joints examined and failed joints re-soldered. Several email
list
members have done this. Also, the controllers are sold on a exchange
basis
and I assume they're refurbishing them by restoring the solder joints.
I assume there a spec for the solder mat'l and the proceedure is
probably
defined somehow as the heat needed, time to heat the joint, ?? anything
else?

That pimpo grille style is rather popular in Bosnia and the former Soviet
Republics. You can find them on eBay sometimes.
Failing that, try eBay.de... some of the aftermarket parts vendors accept
PayPal, ship worldwide and can communicate easily in English. Shipping is
not as bad as you might think (given how much USPS rates have increased in
the last two years).
