Kenny, I don't know if they ship internationally, but I do I could pick one up for you and send it your way at cost if you would like. I have to go to the post office this weekend anyway, and there's a Radio Shack right near it. I'd just have to let you know the shipping cost once I send it off.

Hey wiz, sorry for the late response but I am currently at a break from my "Repro making" fever. (Have to study to take my exams again in august) But thx for the offer !! ]]>

I use that when I want to preserve the chip I am removing (like the NES chip when I made my CopyNES system).

Currently, I am just clipping off the chip near the top of the ceramic, and using de-soldering braid to suck out all the old solder so the pins drop out.   I've found that this does a very clean job of de-soldering.  But it took me a long time to get any good at it.  And its not very fast.

Do they ship internationally (europe) ? Can't seem to find any info about it , so my guess is they don't ]]>
