[Hallicrafters] How To Unsolder Can Capacitors

[Paul Kraemer]

Try a Hakko 808 de soldering pistol with the large tip
It WILL do the job and it won't burn up the surroundings and it WILL suck up 
the solder
Once you have one you will wonder how did I ever get along without this

For all soldering from light to heavy try a Hakko 936 temp controlled 
station with a large tip. A precision tool at a paupers price. The soldering 
gun will be on your next garage sale table.

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.
