Hi, Kerry,
You can rework this yourself with plating kits from Hunter. They supply
pens with cleaning agent, nickel underplating, and gold overplating. It
is very effective, and I have used these many times to replate gold
fingers and contact areas. Check out
www.hunterproducts.com/micro-metallizer.htm You need to purchase the
plating kit, but it pays for itself many times, and is not expensive.
They have a number of finishes available.

Subject: [TN] Solder on Gold Pads

Hi,
We accidently got 63/37 solder on some .25" gold pads.  The pads are
needed to be gold for contact reasons.

Does anyone know of a repair company in the area that can remove the
solder (down to the Cu) and replate?   Unfortunately the boards are
assembled.
And of course, we need a three day turn.

Thanks,
Kerry
