Desoldering iron heads need fairly frequent replacement and they're not exactly cheap.

Well it is when you have home-made desoldering machine :D no need for head replacement. I'll try to make a photo of it sometime :D

And 2MaarioS: No, I won't desolder Castlevania, or Mother, or Gradius, or even Ninja Hattori Kun. That's my rule.

I found a video of a guy desoldering a DSP1 snes chip in about 2 minutes using his gas stovetop and plyers.  My stove is electric otherwise I'd be all over that technique.
