Basic types of de-soldering tools vary. For through hole boards it can be a standard soldering iron and a $5.00 solder sucker or a full blown heated desoldering iron with a vacuum pump and solder filter. For SMD devices it can be either a heated tweezer arrangement or a hot air rework

I have replaced any caps on my Classic/Plus/512/128 Compacts yet, but it's on my list. I routinely replace swollen caps on modern PeeCee motherboards and it's no big deal. I have a Hakko desolder station, a Hakko solder station and a hot air SMD rework station. All purchased on ebay for a

Anyone know anything about an upgrade board for a 128 called a Monster Mac from a company called Levco? I bought a 128 motherboard p/n 630-0101 that has a Monstar Mac board attached. Just curious if it needs special software or extension to run or if it's worth keeping. James --

That's about what I thought also. I told the owner that they basically destroyed the value of the Mac with the upgrade. I offered the owner the $50 and they could keep the ImageWriter. I haven't heard from them yet. I think they were looking for a couple of C notes. Stuart Bell wrote: OK.
