 NOT FOR SALE HERE! |
DESOLDER & DAMAGE TOOL Have you ever used a desoldering tool like this? I have several of those in my workshop, but I never liked them at all. With printed circuit boards, they easily damage the soldering islands. Specially when restoring older electronics with those brown circuit boards, this is often a problem. For free wired circuits they are no good, because when you release the spring, it shoots aggressively and damages 9 pins sockets easily. I have tried several desoldering tools, expensive ones, with electric pumps. They all have the same problem that they get stuck from particles, and you need to re-clean them every time. Besides, they don't take out the solder out of the PCB holes very well. They get stuck with larger drops, and when cleaning, you get this poisonous dirt on your table. Yikes! Wash your hands carefully. Forget the expensive versions with electric pumps. They are only good for micro electronics, and when you continuously clean them. |

 Desolder tool Order Nr: 624-001-85 |
DESOLDER TOOL (Limited stock) Some time ago I was send this desoldering tool as a gift, by one of my material suppliers, just to try it out. I was so pleased with it, that I decided to offer it for sale here. It is a genius product, that works without violence, and has enough heat capacity (40Watt) to melt larger solder joints. It never gets stuck, no matter how much solder you remove at one time! Vintage PCB's and tube sockets are not damaged any more, and when you're done, this tool is easily cleaned! You just hold it above a waste basket, and press it quickly a few times, and all solder is removed. No need to take it apart, and no dirt produced. When ordering, please mind there is only the 230 Volt version available. Note this is old stock from around 2005 Note: It is not a "must" but you should try the silver flux with this tool together. So before you desolder, brush the silver flux liquid on the joints, and you won't believe the results! You will get shiny cleanest contacts, as if never soldered before. Also these nasty connections in guitar amplifiers and old radios, you will be able to remove old resistors and old capacitors without damaging the tube sockets and the rest of the wiring. Together with the silver flux (See elsewhere on this page) this tool is MAGIC :) |

 T ube pin straightener Order Nr: 699-004-33 |
Tube pin straightener For all noval tubes, like ECC81, ECC88, EL84. Made from hard plastic, so it will not damage cold coating, or scratch the pins. Note that if the tube pins are not straight, the mechanical force will or may eventually lead to loss if vacuum, you will find this confirmed in old tube handbooks. Never plug in a tube when the pins are not straight! It is not dangerous to bend the pins, but it is dangerous to leave them in a socket under force, this will cause micro leakage after months or years, and affected vacuum will cause noise, and/or defective tubes. The pin straightener must slide on the tubes without any force, and then the pins are ok. So also useful just to check the pins, and you will see many tubes you thought that are ok, will now benefit from a pin straightening action. Very strong material, can be used for hundreds of tubes.

This picture shows how the Emission Labs repair glue forms a compound with the original glue. The original glue is the black particles that you see. They get weak again, and are soaked with the resin solution. NOTE, it is not normal to take off the socket; we just did so to look underneath, and see what happens. This is an old GECO rectifier tube, with almost no old glue left inside any more. Only showed here to demonstrate how the old glue is weakened again. When using the glue, you should leave the socket on. Repair Glue #1 for tube bases that are beginning to get loose, but need no filling. Repair Glue #2 for very loose tube bases that need filling compound. Attention: Not frost-proof. Do not store on a cold place. For the rest, it can be stored for several years, but after long storage you need to mix it thoroughly, particularly glue #1. |
Silver Flux Order Nr: 610-007-76 |
Silver flux. This flux can be used for silver solder or normal solder. It is a resin flux, thick liquid like honey. The bottle has a small brush. Very helpful is to "paint" contacts and solder joints before you start. As you may have noticed, lead free solder flows not as pleasant as the old fashioned lead containing solder. With lead free solder, the flux burns faster, and when it's gone, the solder joint will burn. What you do, if this happens, just let the joint cool down, brush a thick layer of this flux on it, and resolder it again. This flux will make the solder bright and clean again as soon as it get warm. This is pure resin flux, no aggressive chemicals added. After soldering the residue can either stay on the components, or for optical reasons be removed with alcohol. 10ml Bottle. |
