Broken Diddle Stick removal from IF Can Core
#14

Morzh, my hands are unstable due to the medications I take for my Autism and ADHD and Partial Complex Seizure Disorder I have, so both my right and left hand have tremors, and its bad enough that I have screwed up soldering jobs in the past, for example I was attempting to repair my mom's old Sanyo all-in-one stereo from 1985 and I accidentally broke the dial string because I got the soldering iron too close to the dial string because my hand was shaky enough that it slipped and hit the dial string which was made of nylon and it broke the string, I was trying to replace the dial pointer LED indicator light and when I was attempting to unsolder the old LED Bulb from the wire that it was soldered to, that was when the soldering iron slipped and hit the dial string and broke it, I've also accidentally melted capacitors that way too, because when I was trying to solder the leads of the capacitors into the radio I was working on the soldering iron slipped and hit the capacitor case and melted the capacitor shell. So that's why I try to limit myself to work that isn't horribly fine (I try to avoid SMD work for that reason.)
