[Elecraft] OT: soldering practice

[Don Nelson]

Doug,

There are two opportunities here. One is your goal of solder practice. 
The other is to find a suitable piece of electronics to take apart to 
get the circuit board on which the soldering practice can take place. 
The experience of taking something apart for the sake of understanding 
what is inside is worth the effort. It is more enjoyable because you 
know it does not have to be put back together.

I recently took apart a failed laser printer. Now there is an experience 
even for a seasoned electronics type like me.

Don, N0YE
