[Milsurplus] Solder Joints OUCH!

[Ron.K3PID]

The other thing that I now remember from that shop teacher was when holding the 
component for solder you are allowed to say OUCH but not allowed to move!!!

As I work on radios that are older than me ( 80) and I try to unsolder a wire 
from a post, I am reminded of what my shop teacher said in 1959 as I was 
building a power supply... He said if it 
isn't a good mechanical connection, it won't be a good solder joint.. Those 
folks who built radios for the war understood that for sure!
