The 808 is nice, I have one. They come up used on ebay from time to time relatively cheap.
But I've been spoiled now. If you have the bucks, go for a Pace station with an SX-100 desoldering tool. 40 pin chips fall out like they were never soldered in the first place. I removed five S-100 sockets from a cracked motherboard while watching TV. Each one lifted out on the first try. No real fatigue, barely had to pay attention to what I was doing. My wife commented that it was like watching an experienced knitter. Bill S. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
