Hi guys,
Sorry for the delay on replying. My mate has decent soldering gear so when he has time he is going to give it a go for me.

I have a soldering iron from a Jaycar outlet store. Its country Vic electronics / auto parts store.

Its a conical tip not flat. No temperature control knob. Salesperson said it will do the job. I haven't opened it yet and still have the receipt.

I have just started a new build posted in this general forum so I'll continue there.

When my mate finishes the soldering on this one I'll upload some audio.

This wont be anytime soon though. He is interstate

Cheers Alkay.
