Re: Tools/Equipment You Can't Be Without
After spending the morning reassembling my Philips N4308, I now understand why it is important to have the appropriate tools for the job in hand; as suggested in your posts.
I probably only spent about an hour or so reassembling but the other couple of hours were spent looking for washers/shims and circlips that flew and dropped in all directions!! I now have my list of tools/aids, thanks to all your posts, so it won't be happening again on my next project. Brian |

You can soup-up your desolder braid with a touch from a flux pen.
