[Boatanchors] Desoldering Components

[J. Forster]

BTW, I bought my first Pace new in about 1980 for nearly $400, but have
found about 5 more since at flea markets for $50 to $75 each. Most units
that are 'bad' usually just need an internal cleaning.

I'm not looking for them any more, but if anyone wants me to look drop me
a note off-list.

==================


> The Pace units have three filters:
>
> First, a felt plug in the rear end of the solder tube. It's life depends
> mostly on how much flux is on the joints or added. You can wad up a cotton
> ball asa a substitute.
>
> The Millipore filter. Not on early units. Disk shaped clear plastic in the
> suction line. If they get fluxed, you can dribble alcohol through them and
> they perk right up.
>
> Felt filters on Gast pump. These can be cleaned while flushing the pump
> with alcohol or Varsol.
>
> The unit does need replacement tips...  they erode.
