using the Pace VF90
Does anyone here have experience using the Pace VF90 desoldering
station? I have just aquired one of these as I thought it was a self contained unit but I find I need a gas feed? and a vacuum source? I honestly thought that this thing used hot air and that there would be a built in pump. I've done the usual googling but can't find any really useful info. I have a small compressor which might do if the gas inlet is just compressed air, and I might be able to rig up something for the vacuum as long as it doesn't need to be too powerful. Any help/advice appreciated or this thing might end up back on ebay. Cheers -- Just add a little Rub to email me :^) |

Phil Hi Phil, Yes, thats the one, Yeah, I suppose so, but it IS new, and seemed very cheap to me. It seems to be working OK, so I'm sure with a little help from my friends (hint) I can get some valuable use from it. If not there is always the option to re ebay it. Nothing ventured and all that :^) Pete -- Just add a little Rub to email me :^) |

Presumably intended for production line use - although I doubt their more recent stuff is rugged enough for that. -- *Go the extra mile.
