The hard disk has finally arrived all the way from Hong Kong Ready when ever you are Dave

Hi Dave, Yup I've got a weller soldering station tucked away in the attic somewhere with a few interchangable tips and temperature control that i've done surface mount bridge rectifiers with before, it was a few years ago but i'll give anything a go, if in doubt my father has 50 years extra experien...
