Re: Poor solderability of old components, solutions?
I use fibreglass pencils for this sort of thing. The slim little one I have (think it came from farnell or cpc) seems to break off in tiny powdered bits that doesn't stick in you. My old boss's glass Thistle Stick was another matter, maybe they've changed the formulation.
I dont envy you with SMD mind you. Save your sanity and bin them!
