Due to couple of customers who still have some products that are completely through-hole, we use our Universal DIP and Axial equipment on a somewhat regular basis. Our machines are pretty old, but they work pretty well, and we don't do enough throug

We still have an old Heller 1500W kicking around and I can't locate a parts list or manual. I know some "spring cleaning" went on and I'm wondering if someone tossed them. The main issue is the edge rail chains seem to suddenly have a lot of slack.

Interesting idea the sprite sugar/water mix.... I found a spray on BBQ cleaner which worked pretty well, but is a little sharp on the lungs! Peter

"the sprite sugar/water mix" becomes a solvent because the number of carbon molecules in the sugar chain is greater than number of carbon molecules in the flux residue chain. Er, something like that ...

I use Simple Green, works pretty well, although I use the concentrate and don't dilute it as is recommended, so it's pretty strong. I am going to try the sugar water though. I'm intrigued.
