It went great! I have all these capacitor things I pulled off sitting on my computer desk! I just had to wait a long time for the iron to heat up, then put some solder on the tip to make it shiny and it worked fine. I'm using solder intended for plumbers, so maybe it's an easier solder to work with? I didn't use flux. Hey, what's that thing that looks like a controller right next to your Kelly? Is that a DC/DC converter? Looks like you have a backup Curtis in case the Kelly failed
