As many have pointed out, the Tandy 100 is both a victim of leaking capacitors and absolutely CAKED in flux residue. When I recap them I have to use a fair amount of good flux and a vacuum gun to remove them. If you don't have a vacuum gun, I might suggest applying flux and then using desoldering wick/braid to get started removing the old solder. Then apply new and attempt the solder sucker removal. Cleaning with 99% isopropyl would help too, probably.
best of luck. -Josh On Wed, Feb 15, 2023 at 3:45 PM Daniel L <m...@scifidan.com> wrote: > I actually tried this having watched years of ben heck vids. The new > solder beads rolled right off the old solder - almost bridging with another > joint. Blew me away. >
