Solder Paste dispenser - Call for donations

That is odd … and no free shipping to Canada? One thing you have to note is that the shipping charges are a technique by vendors to get their product listed. What you need to look at is the sum of the item price + the shipping charges.

As far as a dispenser for VHS, I think I’m going to order this one tonight:

It’s cheaper ( by about $20 USD) and the only difference is that it uses an analog control to adjust the dispensing time instead of a digital control. From the documentation that I have found, both the AD982 and the YDL983 have the same accuracy (±0.05%) and same precision ( as low as 0.01 seconds ).

Also note you’ll want to get an air filter for the compressor line ($5 at Summit Tools from memory) and you may find the air coupling on these a little challenging. I took one from another tool and adapted it to the hose.

Finally note these are all 220V units, I converted mine to 110V easily, YMMV. Am happy to help.

Solder Paste dispenser has been ordered. It’s coming by DHL so I expect it in the next week or two.

If you would like to donate funds towards the purchase please PM me or put the funds in an envelope in my locker.

Thanks to @jon, @Janet, @wander, @AndrewTilston who have already pledged

Thanks!

Hector,

I have more nozzles than I need, will put together a bag to go with the dispenser.

Hey Did we get a paste dispenser? I was using a solder syringe that I got today at Lees Electronics.

Would totally have used this instead.

@hectorh mentioned that we picked up one but it ended up being kinda junky.
Not sure if it is salveagable
