oh … no sockets…

but the mcdermd way is to solder them down right to the main board

i've been trying to emulate his work… witch i am finding is very difficult…

I re-ram'd (2) 128 boards last night… they both work too!! one was for me, and one was for a customer.

I didn't get to bed till 6am… I am like a walking zombie today.

I think, I need to crank up the temp on my iron… but i'm already at 750F

Seems like the solder is not really flowing into the through holes as well as i like.

these (2) 128 boards i did, had some slight surface corrosion on the soldered joints.. I am sure that doesn't help things!
