Dear Dave:
--I recommend you get a used Hakko 470 or something like. It is a treat! I prefer the 470 over the 808, because it is much easier to use, since you are not carrying the weight of the motor, and, being smaller it can get into more places. I even use it to re-solder with if I only have one or two easy ones to do. When you no longer have to dick around with a spring operated solder sucker and braid, and can remove devices at the rate of one second per pin, with no destruction, your use of bad language will drop considerably. Many parts just fall out with no persuasion. Even if you do not use it on this particular project, I promise you, you will not be sorry!
