    The other thing with soldering irons is to get the right tip. It's a right PITA trying to solder with too large or small a tip. Everyone has their own favourite and there's oodles of choice, I tend towards a 2mm chisel tip for general purpose circuit board use. And my bugbear - I'd avoid mid price variable temperature irons, all the ones I've tried have been rubbish, the Antek mentioned above will be far superior.
    Pity about the Quickie, it was rather suitable I feel; about four resistors, one capacitor, a few RCA sockets, and a valve base per channel all point to point wired, lots of room, great introduction. Still I get your point Oliver, it isn't close to an Alps blue and small circuit board costwise!

    A nifty tip about soldering irons (pun intended). Wrap some solder around a new unused tip and then turn the iron on and leave to heat up, with something underneath to catch excess solder. Easiest way I have found to tin a new tip.
