how good are you with the soldering iron with a fine tip and a small diam. solder (i used .025), I assembled 3 of them, I found if you work on one pad at at time it works really good. if you get too much solder I use a flux pen to straigten it out. Anyway I believe the part number SPE-0012 was what I through away as it was to old.  good luck

Thanks for the link to replace the paste.  The pase that you need is the 63Sn/37Pb paste.  As for the needles, one is the green one and the other looks like light blue.  You would probably get the correct ones by watching RJ's build video and see if he mentions the tip sizes.  I tried to look it up in the past coop but Bill pretty much trashed the coop description and now it has no usable info at all.  Perhaps you could PM him and ask for the sizes.
