years ago, I was given a self powered pace desoldering handset. I didn't
have a vacuum source. A quick trip to the thrift store and for about 2
bucks, I got a home vacuum sealer system. The system was gutted for the
vacuum pump and given a short bit of fish tank air hose and an electrical
foot switch. it been working great for at least 10 years.
