@Red:
soldering one is easy. The hard part is unsoldering the faulty one when you need to salvage the PCB
Not so hard. Use a solder sucker (desoldering pump) to remove the bulk of the solder from each PCB hole. The pin will usually remain stuck to one side of the hole, pop it free with your thumbnail. Once all pins move freely, gently work the old stick out. When the PCB is empty, touch each hole with the iron tip to open it up, use the solder sucker again if needed. Make sure the replacement is fully and evenly seated before soldering it in.

Hello Red Dog,
I soldered all the PCBs just one night.
But still, a headache :) -

No!
I prefer cryptocurrency. -
If you buy a microstick from TM for 6 Euros you can afford a decent solder sucker and soldering iron and save a ton of cash. A good solder sucker makes it much easier to unsolder the board. Approx. 15 minutes for me and my soldering skills suck. Pun not intended LOL

malpasoYup. A good solder sucker and 6 Euros and you have a repaired microstick. Its not that hard as the video shows and it is very cheap to do. No need to pay $200 USD for something you can do for $7 USD and a solder sucker.

I came here to say solder sucker and you beat me to it. An invaluable tool when ‘undoing’ solder joints as RD alluded to earlier.

Just fyi I contacted TM France yesterday and they regret they have no microstick RDR pots left. I’m stuck.
