[Blindtlk] soldering revisited

[T. Joseph Carter]

At the moment I’m concerned with getting too much solder in the wrong 
spot.  If you’ve got excess lead to use as a heatsink, that’s a good 
way to do it.

Alas, I’m too young to have ever had the opportunity to play with a 
bunch of Heathkit toys, but old enough to have seen many of them in 
an assembled state.

Even got to see a HERO-1 assembled once upon a time.
