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).

I have a 605. I tend to use solder wick though, it has been a while since
I needed a powered sucker.

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 t
Amazing rescue! Hope nothing breaks.

I'm told that we got * everything *.

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 a

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 no

The VCF museum took delivery of a VAX 9440 today.
It arrived in two 28-foot trailers. Here's our forklift driver beginning
