[Hallicrafters] How To Unsolder Can Capacitors (or anythingelse?)

[rbethman]

Paul,

I haven't been near one since 1986.  I couldn't remember the model 
number to save my soul!

I retired in '88.   Now I have Weller and Ungar.

I do have one Ungar that is temperature controlled.  It goes back to 
about '94.

I don't think I can get tips for it anymore.
