Thank you biggup

I understand the method that you describe. Unusual - you do not use
desolder braided copper or solder sucker to remove the old solder?

Have you replaced the data-entry pot on an XL7? There are a total of
(9) points - 4 points for the cover part (looks like a copper shield)
- and 5 points for the pot itself.

My Fear is that I might damage the electronic traces on the other side
of the IC - do you think that is not such a potential problem?

thanks very much!
