[Collins] (no subject)

[Jim Brannigan]

The only soldering instruction this Accountant had was from an EE buddy 
doing Work-study at Northeastern.
I thought I was good, but I learned differently and got a lot better.  That 
was 40 years ago.
I patiently try to emulate the Collins soldering techniques, but never seem 
to get there.
