I'd be tempted to use a moderately sized iron and suck the solder
off the terminal post.? Wire ends can be found a bit more easily
and can possibly be unwound as needed.? If you're removing a part
(not to be reattached), then I'd suggest the above, cut off the
part wire a bit out from the post, and then either unwind cold or
unwind with a bit of heat.

Hey All,
I'm looking for some tips on the technique to desolder those
wire-wrapped turrets on some components in older HP gear - I'm
about 50/50 on desoldering without melting the insulation on the
fine wires but I can't work out what to tune up in my technique -
Is it tip temperature, having fresh solder on the tip, correct
tool to apply tension to the wire, etc
Seeing that the group has many years of experience in repairing
these things I thought I might ask for your tips and insight on
how to do it 100% of the time without damaging the insulation on
the wire.
Thanks,
TonyG
