Thanks for the advice. I was just going by what Exxos said in the post abou the DSP-508A about the rectifier holes not needing to be drilled out.

I will be replacing the rectifier and all caps included in the kits. I'm gonna invest in a desoldering gun. Just what is needed for jobs like this. I've got a few retro computers that will need repairing at some point so a desoldering gun will be a good investment. I might ask my other half if she can get me one for Xmas!

No worries, good luck asking for the Hakko :)

I have a Duratool, which to be fair does get mixed reviews, but mine has always been great and only cost me £99.
