Anyone have any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive desoldering
station?? I don't need anything heavy duty--just occasional light duty
stuff like chip and SMD removal. The cheapest I've seen is about
$300--a Xytronic model 968. Anybody have any suggestions,caveats?

Get a temperature controlled iron, a Paladin solder sucker, some wick,
and a roll of Chipquick SMD removal material. It's amazing what you can
do with that stuff.
