Okay kind of funny story: So I decided to build a point to point LA2a or 2. Ordered some parts and spent 2 days digging through boxes in storage looking for the Hakko 888, found the desoldering gun, but no luck. I’m sitting in the living room beat to hell sharing my frustration with my wife who then reminds me “ Don’t you remember, with the move you gave it to that kid in a wheelchair who was learning to solder along with that old de- soldering gun.” Soooo I ordered a new one from Hakko USA, best price out there & they got it shipped today! Please keep us posted on your LA2a! Which transformers / opto cell are you planning to use? Very cool project! I’ve been doing something similar with La3a…just too distracted with things at the moment to keep up regular progress. Good luck with it! Definitely Kenetek for the opto, Sowter or maybe AMI transformers, I just haven’t found anyone who has compared both, Sowter is a safe choice. Power by Hammond!
