Worth some coin in good condition.

 

There was a 427 SOCH Starliner that used to cruise our area years ago.

I think this is it.

> You were spot on with plumbing and flux..sweating. That 's one. Plumbing/sweating is the simplest by far.
*Residential anyway.

Wire or component leg in a PCB thru-connector, same effect. Male and female, just like a pipe. Tool size, timing, details change, naturally. Big fish, lil fish, adjust, adapt. There are some preferred methods, sure, and methodology can help a beginner, or shed liability cuz you used "best practices," but there are multiple ways to skin a cat or solder a thing.

For us, gitter done & flux helps, don't fry the part or the board, remove the flux, and don't get hurt. (Glasses and somehow don't breathe the smoke.) You can reheat solder a couple-few times, then it gets oxidizes and looks and acts frazzled and resists flowing. Suck it away, reflux everything, and try again, once the parts cool a bit. Like anything, you can work it only so many times. I started with a wood burning set. (Not w solder.) No one taught me. You just improve, and it happens very fast. Not harming a PCB thru-hole was my worst issue, and that was v v v rare. And you can succeed and fix him that anyway. Just promise your QA guy a beer, when you are both done. 😉

 

That was great! I never knew that commercial existed. Thanks Brew!

 

Where's AK?

Paging @akdoggie
How are you doing up there?

 

100 inches they say....lets see, carry the one..that's a little over 8 foot!

Wet snow they say, 30 lbs pr sq ft also mentioned. Roofs in the living room stuff. That's heavy stuff!

Ak should radio in maybe....can you get him on the radio/ham ohio, could be in a bunker.... (?)

 

With that red hot paint job, rims too, looka like it escaped. Mexico. Any Weed in the seat makeup, Cheech 'n Chong style?

 

ANd said, the weight of 8 light pickups. Looked an F150 up for weight, was newer than 10th gen. At 4700 lbs, I get closer to 9 pickups.

 

Think that's about right , shipping weight 4400 - 4700.

 

Dam reporters and news readers, always lying....

He was up kinda early. Hope he ain't buried in roof and snow now !
