tigerwoodKhorns Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Because I cannot count, I need $8 worth of capacitors at Partsexpress. I do need some other stuff and not want to get to $99 for shipping. Anyone have any codes for Partsexpress? What are some must haves there that I need to buy?

tigerwoodKhorns Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 It's $8.95 to ship and I am basically at $100. Need the caps to match others but I do need other stuff. Like the Home Depot, I always need something. Last time that I ordered they gave me coupons but I was too tied up to use them. Labor day is soon, I have been putting this off since the holidays so I can wait a few more weeks. I did see this which looks nice: https://www.parts-express.com/Stahl-Tools-DSDS-Variable-Temperature-Digital-Solder-and-Desolder-Station-374-400 I could have used this last time I built some x overs. Solder sucker is not efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry4841 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I have one of those Chinese desoldering guns you can buy for around $100. Work really good for boards, after you get use to them, but not very good with crossovers or connections like them. Not any better than solder suckers. Solder wick is best for those kind of connections. Thought you might want to know what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hakko looks nice but expensive for very occasional use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The S-993A. I bought mine on Amazon almost two years ago but it is not available there now. Ebay has them but like everything the price has gone up. Actually the price is the same but one has to pay $30 shipping from China. Not recommending from any seller but like this. https://www.ebay.com/itm/224556151192?hash=item344896f198:g:FOoAAOSw5UxhB3RD There is a learning curve to properly use one. Solder wick with some added flux works well too for boards but when you learn how to use the gun it is a time saver when restoring old receivers, replacing old caps, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
