I find myself in possesion of a solder pot from a production machine that was sent to scrap. The scrap man was uninterested in the 2 ton pot. Does this thing have value ?? Or am I stuck with a hunk of Hasmat ???

Is it full of solder? If so, It has quite a bit of value.

Looking at the different Selective solder machines. Are there any process considerations with a moving pot versus a fixed pot. What about the angle and peel off on the moving pot?

Biggest differnce is tooling. Tooling cost with a fixed pot - no tooling cost with programable "moving"pot. There are various way to control peel off with a moving pot. Depending on the machine, you can use either the Z axis or the actual pump spe

Chunks, It sounds like you are referring to the construction of the solder pot. Not sure how that would require additional tooling cost? Thanks PCBHELP

Some machines have the pot fixed and the board moves around it (typically at an angle like a wavesolder machine), I think Vitronics takes this approach. No tooling is required per se.
