In Reply to: RE: Be Gone Old Solder Joints and Sockets! posted by Triode_Kingdom on August 5, 2015 at 21:32:57:
During my misspent youth, I was a bench tech and a major Japanese camera/electronic company used pins rather than plated through holes. Problem was that many of the pins had some kind of coating or plating/corrosion and the solder did NOT stick to the pins when the boards were flowed.
Cold solder joint HELL and with hundreds of pins/through holes per board and as many as a dozen boards per instrument, I spent a couple years removing pins and replacing them with copper wire soldered to each side of the board.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
