resoldering circuit boards

[Sandy and Kees Talen]

I agree with Murray, visual inspection of kits is important and
resoldering everything after you find multiple cold solder joints
will probably catch several more. On one SB-xxx unit I found
3 UNsoldered joints. When new, they apparently made "good"
contact, after 30 years they became intermittant.

And since they were kits, not fully tested to specs, you never
know if they EVER worked right.
