now this is why i mention my hobbies to people i meet
Hehe. Im so happy. I met a dude off of craigslist to buy some old $5 crt tv wall mounts.(they work perfect for modern video projectors)
I mentioned "hey do you know anybody with arcade games, pinball machines, non working flatscreen etc etc? Im a mechanic by day and an electronics junkie by night"
He says not really but i used to work for motorola and have some equipment i might sell.
THe equipment?? Just a hakko hot air rework station and a pace soldering/desoldering station
Haggled on price, $75. I know the hakko works we tried that. Unsure of the pace station. Not a screaming deal but still a good deal imho. Did i really do good or have i been had? The pace is missing some glass tube thing that catches the solder i guess, i dont know much about that unit. I have both the solder iron and desolder iron, a pedal, some tubing, and a tylenol container full of new tips or various sizes.
me = happy
