DO NOT USE MOBILE / CGNAT DEVICES WHERE THE IP CHANGES CONSTANTLY!
At this time, it is unfortunately not possible to whitelist users when your IP changes constantly.
You may inadvertently get banned because a previous attack may have used the IP you are now on.
So I suggest people only use fixed IP address devices until I can think of a solution for this problem!

No problems, I used my standard iron at about 370 degrees with some fluxed solder wick, it came out no bother, though I would say the can of the modulator was already loose in the solder and nearly pulled straight off once I'd disconnected the other leads.

The solder is much easier to melt than later stuff like ST's.

Clearly I have some work to do. I dug out the 2600's, one is in pieces and my previous dodgy mod has been exposed so I can work out the problems. Looking at my old mod, I'm stuffed if I can remember what the mod even was and where I dug it up. I will remove it and start again, I think.
