[R-390] Broken part need help

[Norman Ryan]

Hi, All,

Yes, fragile and not very resistant to the heat of a soldering iron.  When disconnecting a lead during a component replacement, it's best to snip said lead carefully and to use judicious heat when desoldering the wire bit around the terminal.

I'll leave it to you to guess why I suggest extra care!
