Soldering with a Toaster Oven

nullset sent in a link to the Seattle Robotics Society about soldering in an unconventional way. Instead of the traditional soldering iron, Kenneth Maxon has successfully used a toaster oven to solder surface mount parts. The "magic ingredient" that facilitates this is a water-soluble solder paste. I wish I'd thought of this back when I had to solder one of those *ahem* aftermarket accessories to my playstation, since the whole process looks easier than trying to hold a soldering iron steady.

It's not the same console. It's two consoles with roughly the same hardware capabilities.

Just as an Xbox is not a PC, and a PC is not an Xbox, a Japanese PS1 is not an American PS1, and an American PS1 is not a Japanese PS1.
