I'm so busy now doing capjobs, (almost every day now) this is a mega time saver.

Figured I would be nice enough to share this awesome tid bit.

Hot air station… i decided to just invest in a heat gun,

Regardless, the area has to be masked with aluminum foil anyways.

Customers dont like Melted PDS Slots / RAM / SCSI or Floppy connectors.

I only fire it up when needed in certain circumstances. Eg. scsi chip SE/30

I Never have issues with pads.

If I do have issues with pads,

It's because someone tried to De-Cap their corroded caps with their " other " way.

Seriously my Re-Cap tally now, Just for the SE/30 and the Portable m5120 and m5126 boards, (most popular)

(25) SE/30's and after I complete the 11 board job that will be here tomorrow or the next day I will be at (36) Macintosh Portable boards.

Hap's been getting me alot of business from his ebay ad's and also my buddy in Guam, his mention of my website in his ad

had got me alot of business.
