I complained about how hard it was to melt some of the solder and, in the process of doing it, some of the cap posts are still attached to the board because I simply can't get the solder to melt. I was told, on the bitchin list that it's due to some caked in flux and was given some tricks on how to get it removed. I'm shopping for an electronic solder sucker that won't break the bank. Fingers crossed I find a used one. Meanwhile, the replacement cap kit came in the mail and they are of good quality. Glad the kit only cost around $5. Daniel
