Ungar used to sell a little tube of clear stuff that they called something like "tip anti-seize". I used it on Imperial irons, back in the days before electronic temperature control. The pure copper threads on the heating element would seize to the

I once had a similar problem on a VIP98. The problem was with the FCU (furnace control unit). There was a burned IC on the lower left of the card. I don't remember what kind of part it was, only that it was very common and I got a new one from Dig

We use Indium 1074-EXR on ERSA, and it's performed miracles on our yields. Spot soldering, like wave, is all about fundamentals. Put just enough flux, preheat to prevent thermal shock and activate the flux, and then solder with enough dwell time to
