[Hallicrafters] How To Unsolder Can Capacitors

[David C. Hallam]

I have a Hakko 927 that I use for general soldering.  I do need to get 
some different tips for it.  I only drag out the gun for certain jobs.

I have a Weller DS500 desoldering station but it's no where heavy duty 
enough for this job.
