You should really hear the MoFo, if you haven't. I'm listening to both right now.
Not at the same time of course. 🙂 Really interesting listening.
Well, I'm a sissy trying to work out how to unsolder one of the jensens from the daughterboard it's in after my F6 met an untimely end... Any tips? This sissy needs a solution!

solder sucker and solder wick , plenty of luck , work fast (shortest time possible per pin/cycle)
use fat tip , only way for fast heat transfer
be gentle with tweezers , when wiggling pin in hole
only when you free up all pins with wiggling - try to pull xformer out

If you can get an alligator clip on the other side of the pin as a heat sink, it might help keep heat away. Doesn't look possible here though.
I don't think that's going to happen unfortunately! There's definitely not enough space there, but I'll give it a whirl without. Thanks to you both!
As I remember I used hot air to do the same as you intend to do. It worked without damaging the transformer.
I did actually give that a try, and had no success, although in fairness I may have given up early...
Use flux on the joints when you desolder,even when using a solder sucker.Its messy but works better than a dry joint.
You can also use low melt or low temp de-solder wire, flood the joints with it, it'll stay liquid longer.

Where in Sydney are you? I've got a vacuum desoldering gun. I can get it off the board for you.
