Nice job on that capacitor Richard! Good clean construction. Today I will re-stuff the double 8Mfd can and get it back into the chassis.
I just realized that I forgot to tell you the model of de-soldering gun that I have. I bought it through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RTXCHGV?psc...ct_details
So far it has done a great job for me. I have another older gun, but this one gets much hotter I think. On really big solder blobs such as chassis grounds or terminals with a lot of leads soldered in place, it helps to use another actual soldering gun. In places like that, I use a solder gun in my right hand to quickly melt the solder blob, and use the de-solder gun in my left hand to suck up the melted solder. It's really easy to do and it sure makes removing stuff much easier.
