You proved that the standard solderability test of components may be effective for assessing aged components. Curious Minds Can you get the authorization to use a more aggressive flux? Will that flux solve the problem? What's it going to cost to qu

The question should be how does it ever stay on track. Replace the roller with one with closed sides and you wont have a problem. THe belts tension probably varies because of age and wear along its length, thus working for a few feet and then going o
