[Fourlanders] Soldering Iron For 7/8ths Hardline

[Jim Worsham]

Removed the connector today from that piece of 7/8ths hardline that I mentioned earlier.  It is different than any hardline I have seen before.  The outer shield conductor is spiral instead of corrogated.  The connector actually screws onto it!  Also the center conductor is copper clad aluminum instead of a copper tube which leads to the real topic of this email.  The center pin is soldered on and the largest soldering iron that I have (150/200 Watt Weller Soldering Gun) doesn't have enough heat to melt the solder and remove the center pin.  Does anyone have something that would do the job?  Thanks.
