solder irons
« on: 10 May 2016, 11:26:17 »
yesterday went to maplins & bought a soldering iron so,s I could do a bit of a repair on my key fobs circuit board. was all set to start & by chance my wife who was sorting out a cupboard came with a notepad, asking me if some numbers and an address was any good. it turned out to be Martin Imber,s address so the fobs gone there. I didn't fancy attempting it myself. :)

Was going to suggest Martin when you first posted Ray, but thought that as you are a regular poster that you would have heard of him. I used his services a few weeks ago, he did a good job and at a good price all within a week. I can,t solder to save my life so was a no brainer. ;D

Soldering new switches and the battery holder on the fob is one of the easier soldering jobs to do but I do appreciate that if you have never soldered before it's probably not something to practice on!

Ray, I used to teach soldering skills, amongst many other things, so rather than bore other Oofers silly with the procedures, if you wish I will PM you with details of best practice.

yes please do. I have a portable cool box that really was good when working but needs a wire soldering back on, I will have a go at that. :y :y
