Hello joshc,,

what soldering iron are you using myself I have Weller soldering station and it gets nice and hot anyway that's cool that you are also rebuilding a Se/30 too they are like the best machine far as the B/W CRT ones go

The desoldering station worked perfectly, it just sucks the solder away immediately - wish I had bought one sooner!!

I use this soldering station: http://yihua-soldering.com/product-1-3-2-hot-air-rework-station-en/147663/

You can see my SE/30 rebuild thread here, although the logic board I was working on in this thread is actually from a different SE/30, but this is the one that I have mostly finished:
