Hello Bob,

 BL> Have you ever worked on a TV PC board as old as 25 years? Is that
 BL> what happens in the end? I've never heard of this sort of thing...
 BL> it's almost as if the wire has corroded *inside* the solder. 

 Spare a thought on the monitors we used to work on.  14" and for some reason,
they still had to use a +35KV EHT.  Great fun if we forgot to discharge the
tubes before working on them.  NOT.  Dry joints all over the place on those
things, forget about trying to find them, we just dismantled the boards, and
hit ALL the joints with the solder sucker.
 Four hours later, fixed!
