* 60/40 rosin core solder (.032" dia)

* multi-meter with minimum 500V range

Use a stand for the soldering iron, a sponge to keep the tip clean, de-soldering wick material and clip leads. You should also have a multi-meter with at least 500V range, preferably 1000V and an audible continuity checker. Try to get a multi-meter that measures capacitance. This lets you verify the value of your components before you install them.


No Auditing of Course Will be Permitted.

Not sure about the levels of interest but what about a September and a February to accommodate everyone? Just an idea....

Current thinking is Feb. I know it's a long way out, but if we give it enough notice, & maye a small deposit, it will happen.

I'm taking the course for sure and will pre-reg by Monday.

Advice: What soldering iron does a man who will build an amp or two, several pedals, and re-wire many guitars really need without going overkill?

I have no idea what to look for in a multi-meter....can you just recommend a brand and model # or maybe a few options at different price points. I have no loyalties to any brands...I just want one that will last...preferably my whole life.

Thanks. Matt

I have built a lot of amps with a basic $9.95 25 watt pencil soldering iron. You can try Canadian Tire. Mastercraft 25W Soldering Iron Product #58-6305-4 [I now use a Weller station.]
They even have a digital multimeter that's worth a look. Autoranging Digital Multimeter
Product #52-0052-2 [I now use a Fluke.]

But with reasonably light use, these should last a long time. Get replacement tips when you buy the iron, if you can.

That's HUGELY helpful. I was eyeballing a $100 soldering station and an expensive multi-meter....getting dazzled with all the bells and whistles. I can save the money for a speaker instead!

Looking forward to meeting you.

Matt

Dang it, I missed it! Any chance you're having one later, or is there a wait list unless someone cancels?

Kevin
