[Coco] RGB2VGA Convertors

Speaking of removing connectors, I recently bought one of these…

I can say it works wonderfully.  One of the first things I did was remove a broken 50-pin SCSI connector.
No problems, zero damage; and because it’s vacuuming the solder off of the pads as you go, you’re ready
to put the new part in immediately.

I think I recovered $30 worth of parts off of buggy prototypes in the first 30 minutes.

Well worth it if you ever have a use for such a thing.
