Solder Pot?

Sep 24, 2007 22 Replies

Anyone have an old solder pot they want to get rid of?



I'm just a hobbiest, so nothing fancy, just something that works would be great. Even better, for a small fee I'll take one of those "LEAD" contaminated ones off your hands :)

If persistence is such a powerful force, why are there so many dead flies in my window sill?

"Hobbyist". It's spelled "hobbyist". Unless you're the hobbiest of the hobbies? Pet peeve.

Ever hear of ebay? Ever hear of misc.industry.electronics.marketplace?

Yea, at the time, all they listed was new stuff of which I didn't know the providence. $150 - 300 for stuff that very well may be imported junk, chased me away to look at real tools. After recovering from $300 - 500 sticker shock, I wandered over hear and asked my miss spelled question...

Nope, but its on my list now, thanks...

Hey, I clean 'em up once a year. If the little buggers wouldn't hide behind the curtains like that I could see them.

Hey, it takes that long to collect enough for a snack anyhow.

Ever heard of your local industrial liquidator and google earth to find them, and the telephone to see if they have what you want?

Almost as good as the freeway sign leading into Indianapolis...

Indipolis Blvd

Not to continue to sound like a dullard, but does anyone actually do this still? I just checked my yellowpages for liquidators, or industrial liquidators, and found a few auction houses. Mostly estate auctions, not much for industrial. One place I know of lists their items on an Ebay storefront, I just assumed this was probably the case now for most all forms of liquidation and what not...

Funny part is, I live in a HUGE retirement part of west central Florida (Just south of Sun City). I could probably stick a sign out by us301 "Solder Pot Watned" and end up filling my garage with 40 year old electronics and Ham radio tools and equipment. :)

Try performing the same search in Google Earth.

Also, some cities have many more Ind Liquidator shops than others. It's all relative.

Why eat flies, when you can have nice, fat, juicy spiders? >:->

So, they want to attract 24-year-old illiterates? ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Because it's sure fun times when you're having flies! :-)
