[jonpitans]

happy to help for no cost though I am sure there are far better solderers about to respond too.

Subject: [Swansea Hackspace] Looking for PSU desoldering/resoldering help 

Hello,

Long-term lurker, recent member. I'm looking for some help to replace three components in a PSU for a BBC Master - three capacitors are nearing the end of their life and there have been incidents over the past few years of BBC Micros catching fire when powered up (e.g. https://goo.gl/gHW9ok )

I have the components and full instructions, which boil down to 'desolder, then resolder', but haven't done any soldering this millennium, and my sole attempt at desoldering many decades ago resulted in several tracks being lifted off the PCB. Would someone be able to help, or better yet, do the job? Happy to pay, either the person doing it, or via a donation to Hackspace or another mutually agreed charity.

And if you have a BBC Micro/Master, you're really very strongly advised not to turn it on till you re-cap the PSU. Kit available here http://goo.gl/YqGHck 

Diolch
Rhys
