[Hallicrafters] How To Unsolder Can Capacitors

[Jim]

The Weller gun does not have enough mass to do the job.

Try protecting the area with aluminum foil.

How do you unsolder the electrolytic can capacitor mounting lugs from a
Hallicrafters steel chassis. Maybe I'm just too impatient but my 250W
Weller gun doesn't seem to deliver enough heat to do the job. I've got a
big old 250W electric iron but it's so big that who knows what I would
burn up trying to get it in there.
