Okay, thanks, Eddie! Maybe we can work out a trade for weed whacking assistance or something. I have more time than money these days.

All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
These things sure are pretty, but I don't have a clue what I would ever use one for. Considering I have managed to make it 45 years at home and in shops without one--it's not looking like the need will arise anytime in this life. I am pretty well restricting myself to stuff made before 1980--and homebrew tech circa 1965.
Besides, I never saw a rework job that a 150W soldering gun and a can of freeze spray could not handle...:cool2:

You could get in on the local television repair scene, man. You could be the Emmett of Mayberry of your time.
Been there, done that, have the souvenir snow globe. Ran for my life in 1983. Ahhh, those halcyon days of youth and big parts*...Originally Posted by KG4CGC
Now I am content to do my best not to be seen on local television. :cool2:

This right here is a heckuva deal:

With all the optional handpieces you can even repair damaged boards.
My permanent bench setup will feature two of these along with a pair of PPS85As and an MBT210 as a backup/parts unit.
This stuff works and it works well. JBC and Metcal are of similar quality though not "all in one" like the Pace units.
