   A friend recommended a portable soldering iron at HOPE to replace the horrible butane thing that is in the blue bag now.

   I'm reading/watching revues ATM. It looks promising!

   Ok, I'll be the Guinna pig and go first.

   We'll see.

      @nybill I've been thinking about getting a TS-100 https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Programmable-Interface-Soldering-Station/dp/B07D4HL2QC when I'm closer to heading to my #SoCal hometown.

         @lnxw48a1 Yes, this is the rig in question. I'm not sure where she got it. But, they are all over Banggood for ~$50.

            What soldering iron do I need to melt solder on a 1950s appliance? I applied heat for 10 minutes to the power cord connections with my soldering iron and it didnt melt one tiny bit.
