Who's handy with a soldering iron?

gregmills Concord, NC Post #: 53	I've taken apart one of my SB-600s and discovered that the reason it won't pop is because the xenon tube is cracked in two (doh!). So I've ordered a replacement tube from Nikon. BUT, I think I need a little help taking this operation to the next level. So if you're handy with a soldering iron and interested in playing with a partially lobotomized SB-600 let me know. The parts should get here in a couple of weeks.

Doing it at a meeting is ok too, it sort of depends on when the parts arrive and how long it is until the next meeting. :)

If it comes in before the meeting we can have a soldering workshop! Let me know so I can bring the stuff. The meeting is a week from today I think.

The meeting is a week from today I think. I think they said it would take a week just for the order to make it through processing to be shipped. At that point they'll notify me of the actual shipping charges and I haven't gotten that notice yet. Still, there's a chance I'll have it by Tuesday. Do we need to clear soldering with the moderators if we're going to do it at a meeting? I haven't been to one in so long that I'm not even sure what you guys do there anymore.
