I recently acquired a Netronics Elf II in non-working condition. Due to a lot of poor solder joints I have started to remove each piece and clean the rosin from the traces and components. I am almost to the point where I will start working with the IC chips. Should I just leave the chips alone to prevent damage, or should I re-solder them? If I re-solder them I plan on buying sockets for each chip. Another reason why I would want to re-solder the chips is to perform the tests the manual describes before having the chips installed. What do you guys think?
In addition to poor solder joints I believe that a missing jumper may be causing the power supply to not be connected to the remainder of the circuit.
