Apologies in advance if this is just rehashing common knowledge - I have done research but I'm honestly paranoid that I'll break the computer or that there's some info I've missed that is essential for working on older machines.
A while ago I got an Apple ][ Plus which, despite being working before it was shipped, wasn't working upon arrival. I posted here, and some helpful people told me it was likely the video solder joint that had broken.
Now, a few months later, I'm sheltering in place and bored, and have decided to finally get it working again - but I haven't ever soldered before. I'm going to get equipment and practice boards, but does anyone have any advice about equipment to buy (I have a soldering iron in mind, recommended by someone else on these forums, but I don't know what other equipment I need), soldering that video joint in particular, or even soldering in general?
