I busted out the FR-300 this week to de-solder some ram from my warlords board and noticed the tip was in pretty bad shape. I ordered a new 1mm for $42 which stung a bit but ok.

While I waited for it to arrive I did a teardown of the pump and valves to give them a good clean.

Today I got through about 6 20 pin chips before the pump started its low warble. Looked at the valve assuming it was gummed and it was in fact broken. Great, I guess I better order some replacements.

Please tell there's better options than this. Or is it time to bite the bullet and move on from my FR-300 for good?
