Desoldering valuable ICs friom junked boards

[buggie@argo.unm.edu (stephen e buggie)]

One of Appledom's modest but highly skilled "solder slingers" visited me
last weekend, and taught me advanced desoldering techniques.  I can now
desolder chips without damaging them.

Anyone out there dig around for scrapped motherboards?  Valuable Apple II
chips sometimes appear on junked boards:

85C816    in Super Nintendo and also in some junked cash registers

65C02     in various coputer motherboards, IIc Unidisk 3.5 drive analog
board

Cut out the relevant portion of the board, send it to me, and I will
desolder the IC.  Cost:  1/3 of the total number of chips.
