And to think, for 30 years I've been using my old blue (spring loaded) Soldapullit... :-)

I happened to stumble across this post earlier today while looking for help with my first TV restoration. Even though I do a lot of restoration work on vintage computers, I would *never* have considered actually investing in a DE-Soldering station. (I often still use my old 30w pencil, in lieu of the more expensive Soldering station.)

But, thanks to your post, I hope to receive mine before the week is out. :-)

Thanks for the great info!
