Default Desoldering question (Miller XMT welder repair)

Do like I did on my 220W dual heat Weller. I made a tiny ceramic piston, 2 stage, vacuum pump and
inserted it in the light bulb socket. A teflon tube coiled around the tip supplies suction to the
work. The tip is hollow and flux is pumped through it in calibrated amounts from another small pump
in the light bulb socket. Solder and flux is effectively sucked up (cleaned) from the work in such
a way that only an "amalgamate film" is left.


Do you have an photos of this contraption?
