Title: Quick Assembly Question
Post by: Toys4Boys on September 18, 2023, 08:56:08 AM

My Eros 2 is due this week, been taking the time to get the materials, play with stains/dyes and read thru the manual. I feel like I have a pretty clear understanding of the steps, my question is regarding pg. 54 when soldering the 2" red solid core wire to "+275DC" on the PS board do you heat from the bottom and feed solder from the top?

I would not recommend doing that.  It's best to solder from the top side of that board and feed the solder in from the top as well.  These joints flow easily and quickly, so there isn't any need for special techniques.
