Fw: [Elecraft] Solder fume extractor recommendation solicited

[xlr at sympatico.ca]

I found using one of those old smoke eaters works great.  I just put the bottom near the board and the fumes get directed away.  They have an active charcoal filter.  I bought mine at a second hand store for $3.00.

Hard to beat and works great!
