Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know, even after 5+ years since you published this, its still a great online source of repair information. Thanks for your effort and time to put this resource out there for other’s benefit!
My pioneer vintage amb is not working vsx4800
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us!
For those of us, who’s better half will not let us buy one of the vacuum de solder irons. I have found a great trick for using solder wick. Put a little bit of flux paste on the joint you are desoldering and the solder wick will suck it right up in a second or two so that you don’t get the joint too hot. Clean it good with alcohol when you’re finished.
Thank you sir.. you have tipped the scales and I am now confident I am going to learn how to do this properly 👍❤️
1st thing is to get those tools 👍
