UPDATE on porcelain dial soldering


Recommended Posts

Ok i finally did it, not the best job but def will pass my standards. The 60 is slightly off, the weld was a bit shabby but ok. I ended up using a tool for wood burning, its does not heat up as much as a solder iron. There is a tiny chip by the 50 that occurred when removing old sub dial, kinda pisses me off the most because without that would have been dam near perfect.

I didn’t have to solder on the feet, that i could never do

Sorry, I meant the sub-dial. What is the substance that you add when soldering ? (not very knowledgeable on this topic but I want to know more)

i just moved the solder that was already there over in order to release the sub-dial then installed new one then pushed the solder back over.
