Dear all,
as it turns out, my newly acquired 8060A has some nasty circuit board corrosion going on. It is not capacitor leakage, but some corrosive water soluble media found its way inside the housing through the display cutout.
Since I would love to not just drop it in the »salvaging spare parts« bin, but rather repair it, I need to completely disassemble the upper part of the PCB including the DIP40 socket.
Solder-sucking-pump and solder-wick will only give me a lot of pain and most probably not work, so my question is: How do you do it properly?
The only other option I see is breaking away the plastic, desolder the single contacts and drop in a new socket later on.
Can anyone suggest a procedure that maybe lets me keep the original socket?
Kind regards,
Frederik
