(desoldering)-looks like 廣東省, China -- got out the copy machines of the Fr-300 Desoldering tool!!

Any luck reflowing video chips with the rework stations?

I'v got a atten 858d (it is exactly the same as the first one uniserver posted, expect for it is branded differently) it cost me about £40 a few years ago and it's been really good, I have even replaced big BGA chips with it (Xbox 360 GPU's and CPU's, with the help of a board preheater (which looks rather like a griddle.... ))

I have heard of some quality issues with them, but i haven't seen any problems yet (my only gripe is that the cable from the unit to the wand is not heat proof, I can't count the number of times i have melted chunks out of the cable (I haven't got through to any of the conductors though))

Heat  resistant plastic is not too flexible .

Ahh that makes sense then, and to be fair most of the chunks melted out of it where from letting the cable lean against the griddle when I was working on Xbox's and not by the wand it's self
