[Elecraft] OT - Hot Air Soldering Guns for SMDs

[Bill Frantz]

I got a hot air rework device from SparkFun. It does a fine job 
of heating SMT parts so they can be removed and replaced. I did 
the KPOD power upgrade to my K3 using it.

It is currently in the hands of the moving company which is 
moving our stuff from CA to NH as part of our move to 
Peterborough, so I can't give a lot of details. But the invoice, 
which is stored on my computer shows it as:

  Hot-air Rework Station - 303D
  TOL-10706      1
    $114.95
