We just bought more BTU's replacing older ones. You can't overload them and
the new flux vapor/residue removal/control systems are worth looking at.
They work fine here and at my last contract with H-P while running but three
profiles for 1500 different assembly types - difficult to say the least.

We run lots of gold here. At H-P we ran everything.
