I offer soldering, desoldering, stabiliser tuning and assembly. See my current equipment list below. I am able to offer stabiliser modding (eg. epsi mod, holee mod) as requested.

Current equipement:

  • Hakko FX-888D soldering station

  • Hakko FR-301 desoldering gun

I am unable to source parts, but am happy to help you find the right keyboard and parts for your build. I understand this process can be daunting for beginners! Contact me on Discord (switchdoctorau) if you need any help.
