The students doing the work I beleive had little to no experiance soldering - which is how I beleive we ended up in the mad dash to find a new 10 turn 100k ohm pot, no one around here (including radio shack stocked them) had to go to EE Tailor, and they only had one. While I am mostly inept when it comes to sensitive electrics, I can hold my own in a pinch. Anywho - I think everyone involved learned that too much heat is a bad thing, I beleive they had the soldering iron on high, and held it there simply too long. You live, you learn. In the end everything worked out fine, so it wasnt that big of a deal.
