I fabbed over 2000 small boards using this pot.I'll miss this little piglet.
Recently a used one went for 400 on ebay, they are about 800 new.
There's about 30lbs of either Kester or Alpha hi purity 63/37 solder in it(don't remember which).
Looking around seems like the cheapest hi quality 63/37 is around 10 a pound.
Included is a 150-750F dial thermometer and aluminum tongs(?) with small slots to grab the board. The pot is adjustable, but has been set to get around 480-500F
for best results.
A shout out to SF bay area members, the weight of this thing would favor local pick up, I'm in Sacramento 95841
$150 local pickup only 95841 Sacramento
get back to me for photos, satra@earthlink.net
Thanks,
Steve
