Awesome diagnosis ...... That IC chip is actually big enough to solder in with a small tip.... I use a JL02 bent style T-12 tip..... I clean the pads with wick then add a lil solder to the most easiest corner pad to get to ..... I then place the chip and tack that corner in so to speak .... Then I solder each one after that .... Yes I do have a hot air station like you have , but I only use it when I have to.... Nice lil radio right there ........ Keep them videos coming .....
