This machine would work well for many of our customers who do low-volume through-hole production. It's loaded with lead-solder, but that's still allowed in the USA (the European RoHS rules are why we went lead-free). This lead-free conversion process has cost us a lot of money, by the way. You should have seen the spreadsheet of components we've had to expense, eBay, or obsolete over the past two years.

It's probably more like $200-300.
