Good morning! Stuff kept falling off the back of my radio/everything else desk so I finally put a length of 1/4round molding on it. Much better, but now what do I do with all the stuff that I retrieved from behind it?
I got an Amazon credit card, no intention of using it, but it got me a $150 gift card, so I ordered a cheap PID controlled soldering station. I'm intimidated by tiny surface mount components but I did manage to re-attach a transistor without damaging the board a couple years ago, so I guess it's time to get over my fears and mars mod a couple of radios my self rather than rely on friends. I hate funding the chicoms but even the wellers are made there now, so I guess buying this Yehua soldering station isn't a big deal.
