Thanks for the reply's chaps, i ended up getting a 30w weller standard iron from maplin, its got a smallish pointy tip may need to grab a smaller one yet, already trashed a 3870 practising, also grabbed a glue gun whilst there. Theres one thing i forgot though and that was a magnifying glass, eyes aint as good as they used to be!!
Never soldered before so any tips?? Watched a vid on the tube but that was just splicing 2 wires together!! Dealing with very small points on a pcb appears to be a whole different ball game
Got a couple of 295's coming and that looks straight forward, just removing the correct resistors shouldn't be too difficult
Whats the flux stuff for, is it Kenny(K404)??
