[Milsurplus] re bc348 rebuild

[Rick Brashear]

If you want an alternative to the torch, I use a very heavy soldering 
iron used in stain glass work that does the job in quick time.  You can 
control the heat much better and don't have to be concerned with the 
open flame.  The iron must have a large, heavy tip that does not lose 
it's heat when applied to the capacitor.  I've rebuilt all types of 
metal caps using this method and it works great.
