Hello Terry, that's a new one on me but sounds very logical and effective, I have a spare iron and bits it's a 50 watt Antex, it does have a thermostat but not sure how low it will go, I have found that (in the case of varnish) the hardest part is trying to see the original line of the slot on the top of the slug so you can see what to work on or scrape away at, fortunately on this receiver the IF cans come straigh off after undoing the two retaining nuts which enables a better view, this receiver has two seperate IF freqencies in the same can, 95 kc/s for vlf & broadcast band and 570 kc/s for the other six ranges, all the 570 kc/s are at the higher end of the can (chassis topside acsess) and the 95 kc/s are at the bottom of the can (chassis bottomside acsess) I have done all the topside ones no problem and realigned but the bottomside ones are yet to do and will be the worst, I might try your suggestion for those Terry..
Regarding meths spirit, I have never had a problem with it except on some paint finishes, I have always found it pretty inert stuff, is there anything specific to be aware of apart from its flamability.

Thanks to Mike also.
(addition) If my 50 w is to fierce I might fashon up a length of suitable metal bar that I could pre heat on a gas torch or an electric oven.
