Pete Another MIT-er. Well the only way I have handled them is with a small torch. Clamp the unit. Heat the solder and it will flow down to the low point and tend to drip out. Stick a small xacto knife in to break any remaining solder loose. Not super pretty but all of it can be cleaned up usually and then re-soldered. Hey its dead whats to loose? Regards Paul WB8TSL
