Hi Jim:
I have a very expensive vacuum pump desoldering tool on my bench but I
find that the best desolder aid for larger terminals like tube sockets
and terminals in the Drakes is braided copper solder wick. I use the
wide stuff..I think it is about 3/16" wide, and it is flux coated so
cleans and removes solder extremely well. After use on a typical tube
pin for instance, I can usually unwrap the lead and remove it with
needlenose... without heating it again.
Desolder wick is avaialable from all the catalog electronic
suppliers..Jameco, MCM, etc.
