Just picked this wave solder machine up for £80 (including VAT).
I spent more on new ratchet straps to load it on a trailer
The lot included 2 assembly desks, 4 PCB transport units, wave outboard PCB transport unit and a cooling desk.
Oh and the wave solder machine with 400KG of tin in it!
Turned it on, took about 4 hours to warm up.
Works fine and the solder looks good. Sent some off for inspection.
The liquid lines for flux and cleaner need replacing as they have perished. The PCB rail on the wave needed adjusting as the chain was stuck and the gears were not correctly meshing. Other than that. Just needs a clean.
I was going to buy this same machine, new model but basically the same, this summer with the other kit for about £30k. So I just saved myself £29,500 after costs...
Bargain of 2024?
Points if you notice the fuckup with the trailer...
