SC mods to Vesta.. steady hand?

[Merlin66]

Got all the electronics, peltier, PC heatsink/fan etc etc to convert the Vesta Webcam to the cooled SC2 version, but when I opened the camera I suddenly realised I didn't have the eyesight or the steady hand to do the necessary cut and solder.
Has anyone had the experience of doing this mod? Is she/he prepared to do it for me? $$$ ?
I can obviously supply all the bits.

I'm targetting a solution similar to Peter's at www.pk3.org/astro

Can anyone help???

Merlin,
if you can't find someone locally (which I doubt) then I know of a guy in the UK.
See if someone within Oz can do it first perhaps.
I know what you mean about being confronted with the problem though, not for me either.

Ambermile is a member here and also I think the same guy Gary is talking about.

I am going to be giving my toucam a run at swapping the colour ccd out and putting a more sensitive b/w in. It will be a few weeks away though!

Telescopes and astronomy in adelaide sell the modified toucam. They have a guy that comes in and takes the toucams away to convert. I would give them a call and see it they will put you in contact with the guy??

I would be willing to consider having a go at yours after i attempt my ccd chip swapover.
