dx-394 not picking up

[blainenbecky]

for some reason I thought I had an adjustable heat soldering tool but upon firing it up I found it was not adjustable
I think the trick was to hold down the FET with a small screw driver and solder 1 leg on one side and the next leg I soldered was on the other side as not to melt the first solder
I am over 50 now so it was pretty hard to hold the thing still but the sun shines on every dogs butt sooner or later I guess .here is some pics of the solder tool I used

Weller does have different tips and in different temperature ranges. Frys has them.

And soldering on pin at a times is acceptable, good job.
