If you love your gear or any other electronics you owe it to yourself to take a day out of your time to learn the basics of soldering. For around $25 you can get everything you need to get started.
- adjustable heat/wattage soldering iron
- flux remover pen or defluxing wick
- right angle tweezers
- rosin paste flux
- 60/40 rosin core RA (activated rosin) solder .03 gauge

It's a lot easier than it looks. Take apart a broken gadget and start messing around. No more broken RCAs or ctrl knob 3
