The newer Pace desoldering tools (SX-90, SX-100)
are much better, both in cleaning (disposable traps)
and usage (the tips simply don't block at all).

Another Hakko 472D owner here. Got mine in pieces as used/nonworking.
They're easy to rebuild. I've used the 808s at workshops/friends' places,
there's no comparison IMO. I use the "pencil" style handpiece, we had the
"gun" style at a previous job, I definitely like the "pencil" style better.
I have the combo unit including solder. I do not have any other experience
with any high-end ware but I can say that this unit does all I need and
does it well.

All this yammering about fancy desoldering gizmos harkens back memories of
a "desoldering station" consisting of a hot soldering iron ... made of a
hefty amount of copper (the kind you put in a pit of fire to heat up!) and
a long, skinny screwdriver, or two, used to _very_ gently pry up ICs from
I believe that a mini version of the VAX 9000 consisting of the main CPU
rack can be set up for display, plus photos / posters of a full setup in
the background. Add a terminal or two and we can demo the 9000 without
breaking the bank. I did not check but even a few drives would suffice to
demo
Amazing rescue! Hope nothing breaks.

Yes.
The question is probably, could they afford the power bill? We have a bunch of
Crays and CDCs at the Computer History Museum, and if they were operational,
we'd probably have to take up a special very-large-hat-passing collection

Right now I'm just happy no * people * broke when it was delivered!
Unloading it from two 28-foot trailers required five people, two pallet
jacks, and a forklift.

What a majestic system! When I saw the teaser picture of the backs of racks on
Twitter, I was assuming something in the 11/78x series. I don't know anything
about the 9440 yet, so it'll be fun to read up on that.

On the topic of desoldering tweezers: I don't like them. I've done tons of
rework of components down to 0201 size. I consider 0201 to be difficult, but I
found that once I could work on 0201 components at all, 0402 suddenly seemed
easy to work with!
Anyway, the tweezers I've used had poor tip

I was doing some board repair this weekend, and used a mix of Hakko 472 vacuum
and
hot air equipment. I was having trouble clearing the holes completely with the
Hakko
so I heated the board with a 1" hot air
plus one for the hakko 808. Love it! Never leave home without it!

LCM has successfully restored and is running multiple large vintage

Evan said it was in service until a couple of months ago, so it should
