Phil,

Heck, I just wrote an article about solder fountain machines in this month's
Circuits Assembly. Been using them for almost 20 years. Only have experience
with the Electrovert SoldaPak model. They take a licking and keep on
ticking, at least for a few years under daily use. We've gone through 6 or 7
and have 2 in continuous use. Check out these links.

OK folks,  The thought of using a solder fountain for connector (PTH)
rework or other multi-pinned components is very interesting.  A quick
search of the Web came up with Wenesco, RPS, and ASP Gold as
manufacturers.  Any guidance good or bad?
As always, I may be contacted off line.
