That's not actually due to my soldering; those were caused by the ever-
increasing heat of the original components on the run-up to their failure.

I have to say I'm really impressed by the quality of Tek's mid 1970s PCBs. 
Despite all my extended butchery, none of the traces lifted. Those were 
the days!

Yup, I did actually switch to a ball of brass wire for tip-cleaning some 
years ago.
