I an a retired electronics pro that worked for +50 years slinging solder and parts. Now I restore antique radios to keep out of trouble. When it comes to soldering people tend to use way too much solder and never enough resin. My favorite solder for general electronics is Kester 44 dia .032. The alloy needs to be Sn63 which is eutectic. I have found that the brass wool is way better that the wet sponge I used for many decades. A great replacement is my wife's Chore Boy. Be sure you have a supply of RA Flux that will easily wash off. I have used both IPA (not beer) and Brake Kleen to wash down boards after repairs. If you repair anything that will be exposed to harsh environments give it a quick coat of conformal coating or a quick blast of Krylon clear coat over anything you soldered. Sometimes adding some "fresh" sn63 to a joint makes it way easier to suck up the 'old' solder. It lowers the melt temp and is less likely to damage an old board. Get a small muffin or table top fan to clear the air. If you do a lot of soldering get a desktop smoke extractor. As to Thanksgiving foods? Spiced Apple rings are my favorite treat. Musselman's used to make them so now they have to be homemade.
Six years as an electronics tech in the Navy and 40 years repairing office machines and I did a lot of soldering.and you're doing it better than me! I'm 67 and we just bought a new much bigger house. Now every family get together is at my house. I didn't think this through!
I bought a 1060 when i was 16, and donated it when i was 60 still working. It's one hell of an amp.. good to see people think its worth all the work to save and use.. thanks
That was a good and neat job! I hear you that sometimes we foresee that the project will be quick but it takes a long time. You were very patient. My soldering and desoldering skills were absolutely horrible (and I still have to do a better job), so years ago I took same training on YT from EEVblog and xraytonyb because I was just damaging the PCB and taking forever to desolder components. Look forward to seeing your next project. I wish you Happy Thanksgiving too. (PS- I also like to eat good food, but I can’t cook anything… so when my wife doesn’t cook, I usually have to buy food at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, etc.)
@@PossibleAudio I was looking for one, then I saw Fran Blanche using this 'FA-400 Antidious Fume Extractor w/ filter' on her channel. I bought one on the jungle site, it works.
Been waiting (impatiently) to view part four this is so helpful. Who ever suggested using flux, what a great tip! Thank you! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I smoke a Turkey. My favorite is cornbread sausage dressing that I prepare a day ahead so my wife can have the kitchen Thanksgiving Day.
@@curtwheeler5019 Do you have the service manual? I have not started rebuilding my 1060 yet. Check the service manual to the board. Also some updated transistors may have their legs changed. Be very sure to check the data sheet.
Your videos are outstanding in showing details clearly as well as taking time to explain the process. Thank you!

Great advise! I'm still learning! Thank you!

@@mikecampbell5856 I appreciate the compliment. I’m definitely better than I was.

Man I was having a rough day and you really cheered me. Thank you. I like pumpkin pie…with whipped cream!
I'm so glad!
Good job on the soldering - looks like factory done!
Getting better. Thanks!
Brilliant video, keep up the good work 👍
Thanks, will do!

It might be time for a fume extractor, we don't want you croaking on us.
I was looking at those on that jungle website.

@@Geoduck. Thanks! I’m working on the P700. It’s going to be a long when I think.
Cornbread Sausage Dressing sounds really good.
Did you find any mislabeling on the board for the transistors lead positioning?
