Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Weller Soldering GUN, not iron.

TRY THIS : I use a Weller ( old ) D-250 Soldering GUN, and build up a head of " steam " or actually, heat in the tip, and the Wonder Solder melts beautifully.

With such a powerful heat source, I am only on the joint for a matter of SECONDS. Prior to re-installation, after modding each cap, I check the finished cap on my Sencore LCR instrument.

Weller now-a-days makes a D-550 and D-650 GUN, as I recall. Useful as all get out, in my point-to-point tube amp and crossover building.
