In these situations, is it better to desolder the Tantis? Or to just snip them off as Hipogear mentioned?
There's extra weight in the legs but I don't know if there's any Tanti in the legs either.



Those boards value seems only to be the Tantis, the Gold fingers, the few IC chips & Copper backed power transistors.
This might be a situation where it comes down to 'Your Time = $$'. And 'Postage weight costs you $$ too'.
