Trying to revive some of my machines LC III and Performa 6115cd

Hi Uniserver,

Thanks, but no thanks! You really helped me choose something that look very cool, but you also relaxed my pockets by $150 U plan expenses! I think it is for the best, I hope. I'll just need to be patient, but with a kit like this things look easier than with a standard soldering iron. Should arrive in 2-3 days from the other side of the country? I'll see if that is true!

I just took a quick look at your website too. You already have a list of requirements for many models, that is great...

But on your main page you show:

Do you want stock capacitors? I can do that!

Do you want Tantalum capacitors?, I can do that!

Do you want Radials? Ceramics? Organic polymers? I can do that!

I'm no expert, and I'm not sure what does it means/changes for any of the variant shown here. I will need to order a bunch of them, as I guess most of my machines will start showing signs of age sooner than later.

I will test them all before going on.

I'm more of a Fan of MLCC Ceramics my self... I just love those little guys... but the only way i can get a good price on them is to order a reel of 2500 straight from japan.

Humm, I guess I do not need 2500 of them, especially that I will requires many different ones, which makes probably over 10000+ total. Wow...

Are you reselling them to us if asked (and have them available too)?

 

[uniserver]

if you have specific questions you can just email or PM me.

and don't forget about Trag, he sells cap kits.

Thanks Uniserver.

I will contact Trag.

You've been of great help so far. That is, if I can make the recap myself, otherwise, I just burned $150 on an amazing soldering kit

 

[uniserver]

It will look nice on your workbench at least!

hahaha

<== I have to remember that I'm only a 6502, not an 68LC040 like you

Hi Uniserver and al,

I finally received my soldering station today. Amazing kit... There is many tools and tips included with it, just amazing!!!

I will need to try and test it a little before doing serious work on computer boards. I have, just as a coincidence, a Klipsch Promedia 2.1 sub on which I had to change the terminals on the back (a plastic terminal broke). I did the soldering with my old iron, but I thing there is some bad contacts in it as it does not sound right. So probably it will be a good starting test elements

I'll probably will need, especially for mother board caps'  soldering, to buy a slimmer solder roll, mine may be a bit too large to solder very small pieces. 

Lot of fun coming to my bench! I'll need also a good high chair, now I'm working on my feet which is not optimal...
