Desoldering station for sale
2004-12-01 by David Rogoff
I just finished replacing all the CMOS chips in my CS-80. I'm done with my desoldering station, so I'm selling it. It's a Weller Desoldering Rework/Repair Station Model # DS600. If anyone is interested, here's the link to the eBay auction where I bought it a couple of months ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3841768300 As you can see, I paid $100 + $20 shipping. I'll let it go to anyone in the group for the same price. If I don't get an offer in the next week, I'll put it up on eBay). It works great. The tip is perfect for DIPs and other through-hole parts. The only trick I figured out was to clear out the hole every couple of DIPs by using a resistor lead. With that it was flawless for about a 100 14/16pin DIPs. I can't imagine trying to do this work with my little Soldapult! Thanks, David
