Cash paid for solder work...(UK)

Post by mrbombermillzy »

Worth a shot I guess...

As some of you may know (and shockingly for someone who lurks on *this* particular forum to admit), I cant solder. :)

However, Im starting to get a bit of a backlog of items that are in need of repair and really need them fixed, so I can continue writing code for them to test on the actual HW.

Im offering the work out to someone here first, before (reluctantly) looking elsewhere.

To be clear, there is a variety of items that need the magic wand treatment. Some TH, some SM, but ALL retro computer based. (Mainly some rather interesting C64 and ST stuff). Its mainly straightforward soldering, (but there may be some cases that need troubleshooting/fault finding).

I expect to pay a fair price for your time and as long as the item is working, thats great!

Im not in any sort of hurry, so you can take your time. I can post the parts, or can even do the handover at Cyberlegends if you like.

This may be a nice little job for someone with some spare time on their hands...or not; Im not really fussed either way! :lol:

If you are interested in any/some/all of the above vagueness, either reply here, or PM me for more details.

Many thanks for your consideration. :D

Where are you based? And what is it you need doing? I'm in Oxfordshire and the Kioxia/Toshiba technician here has been known to take a bribe or ten to fix retro stuff for me before.

Thats great to know. :) I would post the stuff anyway, so location isnt too much of an issue.

Im currently in initial negotiations with another member of this board ;) , so will put your offer on standby for now.

But thank you for the kind offer. It is much appreciated. :cheers:
