I'm working on this WG 7905 chassis. New HOT, cap kit, flyback.
On a couple of the solder points, the solder won't take. It's happening in areas where that orange waxy goo that the manufacture pours on that white adjustment knob (vr6/shutdown area) has run into the holes that the legs of the components go through. (1st photo) One resistor had a terrible joint, so I sucked it up, now solder will not stick to the trace hole. (2nd photo)
What's a way to get down to a surface that will hold the solder? I've heard of fiberglass pencils?
How about the lifted trace in the third picture, it's one of the holes for the horizontal output transformer. Is there some epoxy used to get it back down? (3rd photo)
Thanks, Marc
