about 15 years ago I used to buy refurbed ram and cpus from a company and I have never been able to duplicate their quality. their ICs' legs were clearly dipped into something like a solderpot. I have one with new solder bar and even if I clean the legs manually, then wash or clean with alcohol, etc, it never bonds like theirs. maybe in part it's because the parts I was trying to refurn were in bad shape to begin with. you arcade guys know exactly what I mean. anybody had good success stories? thx _______________________________________________ Techtoolslist mailing list Techtoolslist@flippers.com http://seven.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/techtoolslist FTP site is: ftp://ttl.arcadetech.org/TTL/Test_Equipment Archive site: http://seven.pairlist.net/pipermail/techtoolslist/
