My new soldering iron arrived and it's a beauty. It has a digital temperature controll. This iron gets plenty hot. Soldering is a new skill for me and the first few attempts went well, but took me a long time. After a bit of experience, I really like doing this. After all, it involves smoke, melting stuff and fabrication. What's not to like?
Here I am soldering the 2 HDX power supply wires together to join the VP-X power wire.
