There is nothing that will compare with a Hakko 808.

I'm sure this has been discussed over and over, but I am at the point where I am ready to start pulling out what little hair I have left on my head.  I have a Hallicrafters SX-100 MK II that needs a number of components replaced.  I have tested most of the resistors finding at least 1/3 of them are out of spec, >10% and there are a multitude of tiny chief capacitors.  I have now removed 5 of these and one tested bad.

I have tried various method of removing the solder from tie points and tube sockets; a Weller DS-500 desoldering station, a 40W soldering iron with a 2.4mm chisel point and a solder sucker or desoldering braid with and without liquid rosin flux, an assortment of dental picks and Xacto knives to pull and separate leads.  I am at the point where I am afraid of toasting the phenolic in the tie strips before I have removed the solder sufficiently to get the components loose.

How have others accomplished this?
