Hi Tony.

The reasons for the work being rejected was that

1. cutting the lead put the joint under stress.?  <unlikely>
2. the end of lead was exposed something to do with oxidation. <again
unlikely>

I know that sounds daft but this was military hardware and in this piece of
kit all the via's had to be filled with Solder, again for what reason?.

Regards Art

Ps.  Tony How is your Programmer Project going? < have you pasted the Seven
Code runs yet? <BBG>
