I was nervous watching the husband do it. I was just going to send it off and let notcigs fix it. But against my protest he did it anyway and it is still working. I knew he was capable, I was just worried about that infamous red wire breaking. He has many talents, but soldering is not one of them.

 

[kellie]

I have no tool skills. Everytime I touch a screwdriver I end up breaking the wire and sending it to Mike

 

[BuzzKill]

Kellie the key is to hold the RING terminal not the wire ! they crimped some of this run to hard and it has caused some issues but not many.

That is too funny! If he tries to weld anything on your PV you must take pictures lol
Does he actually have a welder?

 

[moorea]

Yup, he has a welder, he builds, repairs, upgrades and trouble shoots computers and networks. Also works on phone systems etc. Every now and again he needs to weld something, but it is never pretty! He is really very handy and for the most part the things he does, he does very well. But I would never let him solder my Buzz Pro!

 

[salemgold]

Maybe a soldering iron?

 

[moorea]

Oops I said I was tired in the other thread, I've never seen him weld... but I have seen him solder that is what he isn't very good at! But I assume if you can't solder you might as well not bother welding, so he shouldn't try that either!

 

[moorea]

And yes, I believe there is a welder out there in shop! But I did mean solder so it does not make a differece!

 

[Bovinia]

I suck at soldering too! I haven't even peeked under the hood of my BP, but when I changed the top cap on my beta BP I held the terminal. I didn't want to have to do a crappy solder job!

...I didn't want to have to do a crappy solder job!

I didn't want a crappy soldering job either, but it was the best I could find for summer work when I was in high school.

The silver lining--when entombed in a factory with soldering iron in hand--is that you quickly realize how easy it is.
