How to gain electronic parts using a soldering pot

[markuslebt]

i am just removing some electronic parts from an old radio/tuner station because i needed a 470 Ohm resistor in order to make a webcam into an astro-webcam... now i´m gonna harvest the rest of the components too, you never know if they be useful. i use a regular "lötkolben" a soldering iron....

28 pin ics can suck my dick now....although i can get them off with my shitty lil soldering iron

Funny! This man is so greedy to get his free parts he have forgotten to show the soldering pot and to mention where he ve bought it!

[yoramstein]

This guy lets 6 minuts see how he removes parts but would not tell what tool he 's using and where to buy it-very stupid and unhelpfull. Ignorent !

Das ist wirklich eine SEHR GUTE Idee! Allerdings dürfte dich das bei doppelseitig bestückten Platinen nicht sehr empfehlen. Auch solle man gerade beim Entlöten mit großer Hitze und viel flüssigem Metall SEHR VORSICHTIG SEIN und besser eine SCHUTZBRILLE Tragen! SMD ELKOS sind mir bereits ein paar mal vor den Augen "explodiert" beim Versuch diese mit Heissluft zu entlöten.

toxic odors can injure your lungs or trigger an asthma atack...Hg Pb Br atoms too

[alek202]

@desenxuxator Pb boil temp 1749°C Hg 350°C Br 59°C. Ventilation should be done. But remember to wash your hands. Touching Pb is more dangerous than breathing it (as boil temp is so high, only particles can reach you).

Heh, I'm just saying my 2c. And melting own old stuff has far more lead too.. A good hood will stop you getting occupational asthma or worse, I'm sure there are hacks for them ;)

You just sold me one soldering pot! :P

[saccadecom]

Jameco sells solder pots and raw (bar) solder.

[haexn]

Very cool. I think you just sold me on a solder pot...

[hardcoreforensics]

Yep ,

it is always better not to use Ventilation with a solder pot. That way you can enjoy all that molten metal goodness when you breathe.

[alek202]

@hardcoreforensics Ventilation is on place. Upper left corner.

[Psimonkey]

@alek202 That does not look at all suitable

[alek202]

@Psimonkey it is. maybe not perfect, but feel free to sponsor a professional ventilation for our hackerspace ;)

@bamamikestl Agreed... Since there are no sold pots here where I live, this looks alot faster than my dang hotair gun... ANy Idea on where to get one? Along with non flux solder bars? Cause I have never even see thoes either.

Unless you made the pot, and made your own bars? FYI I live in the USA, and in Arizona, so any info would be appreciated.

[donpalmera]

Reusing old caps that you've boiled to death with the solder pot... no thanks ;)

[alek202]

@donpalmera As you can see in the video, desoldering time is not very high. A heat gun does quite more damage.

[bamamikestl]

what's the model of your soldering pot? or do you have any recommendations on one to get?

[alek202]

@bamamikestl I can't recall the model right now, but it's an ERSA soldering pot.
