Re: DIY Soldering

I worked for PRC. We were a sub for Mantech on that contract. I quit that job 10 years ago though. Mantech was developing a new test system at the time. It's funny because they had a pretty weak software engineering team and they tried to get me to moonlight for them to fix their stuff. I hope things are different these days.

I used to travel a lot for that job - mostly Port Hueneme at the Navy Yard, NH to the Raytheon repair facility, and to Crane Indianna to the weapons depot.

I also did a bunch of stuff with this suitcase sized digital test harness. Can't remember the name but it was like a silver/metal suitcase and the Navy had a bunch of them [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

For almost all of my guitar repairs, I don't use any flux, other than what's in my solder. The exception being for grounds on trem claws, and on the back of pots.

Hey that was some good info. I still consider myself a novice @ soldering, & appreciate the info.
